Ulinzi Stars has hired the services of former coach Benjamin Nyangweso as the head-coach replacing Dustan Nyaundo.
Nyaudo has been in charge of the team since the beginning of 2018, and who has now been reassigned a new role as the club’s Technical Director.
At the management level, captain Kelvin Opuko resumes his roles as the Officer in Charge (OIC) having returned from official military duty, taking over from Lt Calvince Ogweno, who has been in charge for the last eight months.
“Nyangweso has a decorated history with Ulinzi Stars and as a coach, we are all aware of what he has done with the team. He is a good game reader and very tactical; he will also find it very easy to settle in at the team, having been with us before.
“Nyaudo, on the other hand, is gifted technically and is among the top coaches we have in the country. These two working together is definitely a plus at the club and we believe that they will lead the team back to glory,” said club chairman Lt Col Erick Oloo.
Nyaudo replaced Nyangweso after the 2017 campaign and guided the team to a fourth-place finish in his first season in the top flight. And last year, Nyaudo emerged second in the SPL coach of the year award behind winner Dylan Kerr of Gor Mahia.
Nyangweso, who will be deputised by former Harambee Stars defender James Mulinge, will take charge of the team against Sony Sugar on Wednesday at their Afraha Stadium in his first assignment.
