When I left my last workstation, I was to seek an opportunity outside the country but when the possibility to join City Stars came by I had to change my plans. That possibility turned to reality, and it excites me to be part of Simba wa Nairobi, a club full of stability and ambitions. I believe that together, we will achieve the set targets,” said MuyotiClub CEO Patrick Korir heaped praises on the former Thika United coach, noting that his availability came at a very opportune moment for City Stars.“We were made aware of his availability at a time when we were looking through a pile of applications from both local and foreign coaches. His recent track record where he made Homeboyz a formidable side in the last three seasons with a top-seven finish in all instances, as well as his great personality, became our attraction point. Most importantly, Muyoti is known for his voluntary service to the community which directly aligns with the strong pillars of the Jonathan Jackson Foundation that manages Nairobi City Stars. It goes to say that in many fronts he suited the Nairobi City Stars family.” Korir told the club’s portal.
