Only the club assistant coach Fred Ambani and video analyst Josh Angatia are expected to remain at the den following the sacking of Tom Juma on Monday.

AFC Leopards are expected to announce their team manager Albert Wesonga as the new club Chief Executive Officer, Mozzart Sport has learnt.

This follows the dismissal of Victor Bwibo after a disastrous start to the 2023-24 Football Kenya Premier League (FKFPL) where the Leopards remain winless in six matches.

Leopards Secretary General Gilbert Andugu had on Monday hinted at various managerial changes to the technical bench, but remained tight-lipped on which positions were to be declared vacant

The club bosses have bowed to fans' pressure to have the whole technical bench and management send home and the club administer won't be spared after the sacking of coach Tom Juma.

Bwibo has been at the den for five joining the big cats in 2018 taking over from Jacob Abisai whose contract with the club had come to an end.

Wesonga previously handled the now defunct Dandora Love under the same capacity and rides into office high on experience and will be tasked with turning the fortunes of the team around.

Other managerial alignments expected to be announced in the coming days at the den include departure of the club's fitness trainer Vincent Macheda and goalkeeper coach Lawrence Webo, whose sacking is not yet clear as the club owes him quite a considerate amount of money and his dismissal might land the former premier League champions into more troubles.

However, Ingwe has lined up former Harambee Stars goalkeepers coach Haggai Azande as Webo replacement, we can firmly confirm.

Only the club assistant coach Fred Ambani and video analyst Josh Angatia are expected to remain at the den following the sacking of Juma on Monday.

Under Juma's reign, the club recorded zero wins, four draws and two defeats including the 2-0 loss at the hands of eternal enemies Gor Mahia that served as the final straw for the former Ingwe midfielder at the club.

With the league on a brief recess for the international break, the playing unit is expected back to training under a new management with their next assignment pitting them against fellow strugglers Bandari FC on October 22 at Mbaraki sports club, Mombasa.
