2009 Kenyan Premier League champions Sofapaka FC are expected to appoint a new head coach soon following the departure of John Baraza.
The club confirmed on Tuesday that the former Harambee Stars striker had stepped down with his assistant Mike Mururi tasked to lead the team in their next league game against Kariobangi Sharks.
