Francis Baraza's mother passed in Busia while receiving treatment.

Kagera Sugar FC head coach Francis Baraza is in mourning following the death of his mother in Busia on Thursday 29 April.

Baraza’s mum passed away at the Busia County Referral Hospital with the cause of death yet to be made public.

Kagera released a statement on Thursday confirming the demise of Baraza’s mum on their social media platforms. 

“The Kagera Sugar Football Club management has received the very sad news on the death of head coach Francis Baraza’s mother that happened today at the Busia County Referral Hospital in Kenya,”

“The management has sent a message of condolence to the family of Baraza, the technical bench, players, friends and relatives who are affected by the loss,” read a statement from the club. 

This comes barely a month after Baraza jumped ship in the Tanzanian Premier League from Biashara United to Kagera Sugar.

Baraza is synonymous with guiding Sony Sugar to their only Kenyan Premier League title back in 2006 after upsetting heavyweights. 

The former Muhoroni Youth coach is yet to change the fortunes of Kagera since joining the side as they still sit in relegation places. 

Biashara have also not posted impressive results since Baraza left as they bagged their maiden win coincidentally against Kagera last time out.
