After securing the Kenyan Premier League Fidelity Insurance coach of the month award for October, Tusker FC’s Francis Baraza has increased his chances of being selected to head the team.
According to Tusker Chief Executive Officer Charles Obiny, Baraza has indeed been shortlisted for the job despite receiving several applications.
“Tusker is a big team with a lot of pressure and we need an equally big coach. We have received so many applications and are looking at them. Baraza is also one of the coaches we are considering. We should be able to come out with a conclusive response by mid month,” Obiny said.
The club is aiming to recover from a disappointing season which saw them finish sixth in the Premier League and exit the GOtv Shield in the quarter-finals.
“There will be major changes at the club. The team might be completely new next season. The sponsors were completely not happy with the performance because they have given the cub everything. Finishing sixth is unacceptable,” a source at the club confided.
