Veteran Coach Robert Matano has left Tusker FC after six years as head coach following the expiry of his contract with the Brewers.

Matano , is not only the most successful coach at Tusker FC but also the most successful local coach in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League.

Not even a foreign coach has won the league more times than him, who has three league titles, four if you consider the 2021/2022 season.

He previously won it in 2009 with Sofapaka in their debut season and in 2012 in his first stint with Tusker FC.

The tactician rejoined Tusker FC in April 2018 from AFC Leopards with the task of delivering the League title and ending the dominance of Gor Mahia at that time.

The former AFC Leopards coach built a formidable team at Tusker, and even though he had to wait a little longer, he eventually won the FKF Premier League in the 2020/2021 season to end Gor Mahia’s four-year dominance.

He later defended the league title in the controversial 2021/2022 season, beating Kakamega Homeboyz to the title by a superior goal difference after tying on points. However, that season was declared null and void by FKF.

Charles Okere has been in charge of training over the last two days after the team resumed its preseason training last Monday until the club appoint a new coach.

Sources close to the club have indicated that, although the timing announcement did catch them by surprise, it was just a matter of when he would leave.

Other FKF Premier League clubs that the Robert Matano has previously led include World Hope (Nairobi City Stars , Kenya Pipeline, Bidco United and Ulinzi Stars.
