National Super League (NSL) side Soy United FC has a new assistant coach.
The Soy-based club made the new appointment following the exit of Samuel Twago. Twago recently joined the Division One League side Bungoma Superstars as the club’s new head coach.
Who is the new Soy United assistant coach?
In a statement on its social media pages, Soy United said Owen Makokha will now be its new assistant coach.
Makokha worked at Soy United over 9 years ago.
“We are delighted to announce the arrival of Mr Owen Makokha to the club as the new Assistant Coach,” the club said.
“A holder of a CAF B Coaching Licence, Mr Makokha rejoins our technical bench for a second spell, this time as an Assistant Coach, having previously worked here in our pioneer season of 2017,” it added.
Makokha brings with him vast experience in Kenya’s second-tier league and football management, having previously worked with Naivas FC, where he played a key role in guiding the club to two NSL/KPL promotional playoff appearances.
He has also enjoyed productive stints with Fortune Sacco, Kibera Blackstars, and Equity Bank FC.
“We welcome him to the Blue Eagles family and wish him success in his new role,” Soy United said.
The club was promoted to the NSL this season.
