Allan Wanga,one of Kenya’s greatest strikers to ever set foot on a football pitch yesterday went down in the Kenyan Football history books as the first Coach to not only include himself in the match day squad but also went ahead to grab a brace as Kakamega Homeboyz inflicted a first season defeat to SportPesa runners up Bandari FC.

The 4-0 victory not only ended Homeboyz’s seven-match winless streak but halted Bandari’s unbeaten streak in eight games.

Wanga and goalkeeper trainer David Juma were put in charge temporarily with technical director Eliud Omukuyia also assisting after Ugandan coach Paul Nkata, his assistant Hamza Kalanzi midfielder George Mandela were all shown the door on allegations of match fixing.

Homeboyz’s last win in the SportPesa Premier League was the 3-0 thumping of AFC Leopards on December 15 in Kakamega.

The former AFC Leopards and Tusker man, who led the brewers to a league and domestic cup double in 2016, said he is not in a rush to hang his boots and pursue coaching despite being trusted with the job at Homeboyz in an interim basis.

“I don’t even look at myself as a coach but just a leader,” Wanga, who recently graduated from the University of Nairobi, offered.

“I am done with my first degree now I want to do another one in sports science then I will see what the future holds regarding coaching.”
