Mwanzia had been handed a sick leave sometime last season when the team was handed to his assistant Clive Odhiambo but he recovered in time for the FKF Womenβs Cup final which he won. But reports indicate that he fell ill again recently.
During his tenure as the Starlets coach, he won an unprecedented three Cup titles and his demise will be a big blow for Ulinzi who is currently being led by former Harambee Stars midfielder Stephen Ochola.
