In the interim, Goalkeeping Coach Samuel Koko Okoth has been tasked with leading the team for its remaining two fixtures.
“We’ve held mutual discussions with the coach and his assistants. The aim now is to bring fresh energy into the squad as we seek a strong finish and begin preparations for next season,” said club chairman Bramwel Simiyu.
“KCB Football remains an integral part of the KCB brand’s sporting ambitions. It's important for us to take stock and reposition ourselves as title contenders moving forward. We have an ambition to win the league and maintain top-level performance in the long term,” he added.
KCB will host Nairobi City Stars on 10 June before wrapping up the 2024/25 season away to AFC Leopards on 15 June.
