Fresh from returning into the Football Kenya Federation Premier League, Vihiga United has fired Technical Director Nick Yakhama.
This comes after the club abolished the Technical Director position to save on costs due to financial constraints.
Yakhama has been with the Vihiga County government-sponsored club since August 2019.
Club president Kahi Indimuli, while confirming the decision, said: “The club’s Executive Committee held a meeting and resolved that the Technical Director’s position be scrapped.”
He noted that the club regrets relieving Yakhama of his duties since he was a key member of the technical bench.
“Yakhama has served the club diligently. We have benefitted from his experience and expertise. We regret seeing him off but I wish him well in his future undertakings in football,” said Indimuli.
Indimuli pointed out that the club is looking for an assistant coach to deputise head coach Sammy Okoth.
“We have received several names of coaches interested in the assistant coach job but we have not yet settled on any. Soon we will make a decision on the same,” said Indimuli.
