Kenya: Bandari FC Sack Head Coach Mohamed Borji Amid Poor Performance. Mombasa, Kenya — Kenya Premier League team Bandari Football Club has parted ways with Moroccan head coach Mohamed Borji, following a string of poor results that have left the Dockers near the bottom of the league standings.
The club announced on Thursday that Borji, along with his assistant Tarik Bendamou, have been dismissed effective immediately.
According to an official statement from Bandari FC, the decision to terminate Borji’s contract came after a thorough review of the team’s technical direction. Borji took over as head coach in early October and has been unable to turn around the fortunes of the Mombasa-based club. Currently, Bandari FC sits in 14th place on the Kenya Premier League table, with just 12 points from 11 matches.
This has raised concerns among fans and club management alike. “This decision follows a review of the team’s technical direction as the club focuses on restrategizing its performance, “the statement read. During Borji’s brief tenure, Bandari struggled to find their rhythm, accumulating several draws and losses that have brought them perilously close to the relegation zone.
The pressure has mounted on the coaching staff, as the team failed to capitalize on their home games and showed tactical weaknesses in crucial matches.
The club has announced that Coach Razak Siwa will take over on an interim basis as Bandari prepares for their upcoming fixtures. New technical arrangements and potential candidates for the head coach position are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
Further details regarding the future of the coaching staff and the club’s strategic direction are expected to emerge as the situation develops.
For now, Bandari FC and its fans await the next steps in their quest to improve their league position.
