Matano and KPL coaches form new body to rival Kefoca

A row is brewing in Kenyan football after Tusker coach Robert Matano and his Bandari counterpart Twahir Muhiddin formed a new coaches’ body, the Kenya National Football Coaches Association (Kenfoca), to rival the Kenya Football Coaches Association (Kefoca).

With local football at a crossroads after Fifa recently rejected a ruling by the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) nullifying Football Kenya Federation (FKF) elections for the second time in three months, football coaches are charting an alternative union.

Kefoca, which was formed in 1972, is currently led by former Kenyan international Ricky Solomon as the chairman with John Bob Oyugi as Secretary-General.
