Simbas coach Paul Odera has resigned as the Kenya15s head coach.
Odera’s resignation comes a month after leading Kenya Simbas to the 2022 Rugby Africa Cup quarterfinals at the Nyayo National Stadium.
In a communique from the Kenya Rugby Union, Odera had left the national 15s team for other private matters.
Kenya Simba are scheduled to face neighbour’s Uganda in the quarterfinals with a possibility of meeting Senegal if they beat the former.
The fixture will double up as the final round of the qualifiers with the winner set to debut at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Odera who has had coaching stints with the Kenya under-19 squad was appointed head coach of the senior team in 2019.
Odera’s task was to guide Simba’s to the France 2023 World Cup replacing New Zealander Ian Snook.
