AFC Leopards’ search for a new coach might be coming to an end, with the club set to name a new coach on Thursday.
The club has narrowed down its list to two foreign coaches, who will take over from interim coach Dennis Kitambi.
According to Club chairman, Dan Mule, Argentine, Rodolfo Zapata and Frenchman, Didier Gomes are in the running to succeed Robert Matano, who left the club early last month.
“We received many applications but we have settled on the two. We are currently in talks with them and are evaluating their personal terms before we pen the contract. We will be able to announce our final pick on Thursday,” Mule told Sportpesa news.
“We have reached a mutual agreement with Kitambi. He will officially relinquish his role at the club on May 10,” Mule added.
Zapata, 51, who is a former goalkeeper, boasts of vast coaching experience in Africa including managing sides like Sunshine Stars FC of Nigeria (2010), Black Aces FC of South Africa (2011-2012) and Botswana’s Gaborone United (2016 to date).
Gomes, 48, is also an experienced tactician in African football. The Ethiopia’s Coffee FC head coach has had stints with Rayon Sports (Rwanda), Coton Sports (Cameroon) and Algerian sides CS Constantine and JSM Skidka.
