Immediate former AFC Leopards coach Robert Matano has responded to the club officials after he was dismissed on Thursday morning.
He was fired in the essence of ideologies differences between the veteran trainer and club officials.
Reports indicate that the veteran trainer accused the club officials of failing to meet his demands.
"They are saying I did not perform and yet I asked the chairman to sign Masoud (Juma), Kepha (Aswani) andTimothy (Otieno) at the start of this season. He claimed these players were very expensive," said Matano.
"We never prepared well for the season. Motivation is at an all-time low, players have not been paid their allowances since last season,"
Club secretary Oscar Igaida accused Matano of "high-handedness, disrespecting the management and failing to achieve initial targets set out at the start of this season."
Igaida also confirmed assistant coach Dennis Kitambi, who has led the club to three successive wins since taking over from the suspended Matano two weeks ago, has been installed as the interim coach.
"He (Matano) promised to ensure the team qualifies for the group stages of the Caf Confederation Cup. He also made sensitive decisions without consulting his colleagues on the technical bench, and was so tough that the players feared him," said Igaida.
Matano has been in charge since last July and led the club to triumph in the domestic cup last October.
