Kenyan Premier League side Wazito FC have parted ways with head coach Fred Ambani, his assistant Salim Babu and keeper trainer Elias Otieno.
The duo was appointed to lead the team in August 2019 with Ambani being elevated to the position of head coach following the departure of Stewart Hall; the new team, then, leading the club to a 13th placed finish in the cancelled 2019/20 season.
The club is yet to note the main reasons why the duo have been shown the door but Pepeta sources can reveal that the technical bench wasn’t happy with the type of signings the club made in the just concluded window.
