The former Sofapaka and Mount Kenya United manager is expected to change Wazito's fortunes after a poor start to the season.

"Wazito have settled on him and his arrival day is expected to be on Wednesday. He will watch our next game from the stands as he tries to familiarize himself with his new players. As a club we are also eagerly waiting for him,” a source from the club told Goal.

The American tactician joined Kenyan Premier League (KPL) last year as a Mount Kenya United's (formerly Nakumatt United) fitness trainer. He helped the team avoid relegation after being appointed to replace Anthony Mwangi.

This performance landed him a job at Sofapaka during the 2018/19. Unfortunately, he was forced to return to Mount Kenya United after a poor start at Batoto ba Mungu (Children of God). 

His stay at Mount Kenya United was cut shot after the team was relegated.

The change comes after club boss Ricardo Badoer warned players of a potential sack if they do not improve.

“There is no need to explain this decision [to sack technical bench members] and within a day or two, our new head coach will be presented. 

"Saying all that I need also to remind Wazito FC players to step up and bring their A-game back or else they will also be kicked out,” Badoer tweeted.
