Kariobangi Legends Part Ways With Coach Ezekiel Akwana After Short Spell

Kariobangi Legends have officially parted ways with head coach Ezekiel Akwana just three months after handing him the role, bringing an abrupt end to a partnership that had promised so much.

The club confirmed the decision through an emotional statement shared on Facebook, praising the coach for his efforts despite the team’s struggles to produce the desired results on the pitch.

“Competitive nature of football calls for more than organisation and demands performance and productive results. It is the only undoing that allows us to mutually part ways with our Top Coach. We will cherish the moments and put your teachings to practice Gaffer,” part of the statement read.

The message reflected both disappointment and respect, showing that the separation was not based on conflict but rather the harsh realities of football, where results often determine survival.

Akwana arrived at Kariobangi Legends with hopes of steadying the club and helping it compete strongly, but football can sometimes be unforgiving. Despite efforts behind the scenes to improve performances and create structure within the squad, results appear not to have matched expectations.

In modern football, coaches are often judged within a very short period, especially when clubs feel pressure to climb the table or avoid poor runs of form. Kariobangi Legends now join the growing list of teams forced into difficult technical bench decisions as they search for consistency and better performances.

Even so, the club’s statement suggests Akwana leaves with the respect of both management and players. The phrase “we will cherish the moments” points to a coach who may have positively influenced the dressing room and laid foundations the club hopes to build on moving forward.

Attention now turns to who will take over the technical bench and whether the change can spark a turnaround for Kariobangi Legends in the coming matches.

For Akwana, the departure marks another chapter in the demanding world of football management — a profession where patience is limited and pressure never disappears.
