He had guided the former champions in two matches before the festivities break.

Barely four months after being appointed head coach at former champions Thika Queens, veteran women's football tactician Joseph Oyoo has called it quits. 

The tactician has only been at the helm of Queens' technical bench for two matches, a loss to Trans Nzoia Falcons and a win away to Kisumu All Starlets. 

He leaves sighting family pressure. 

"I have elected to end my engagement with Thika Queens due to some family issues that have pushed me to make such a drastic decision," Oyoo told Mozzart Sport while keeping his next move under wraps. 

Oyoo was appointed head coach in mid September, taking over from former player Benta Achieng who has had several stints with the 2021 WPL champions.

A renowned football coach, Oyoo, who is not new to top flight football having guided Mombasa Olympic in the 2016 and 2017 season in the top flight had set the target of reclaiming the title Queens lost to Vihiga Queens in the last season. 

The tactician has coached some of the country's top talents among them Kenyan internationals Mwanalima Adam and Essy Akida at St John's Kaloleni Secondary school and Olympics. 

After Mombasa Olympic was relegated to the division one league, Oyoo remained with the side while also taking charge of a Mombasa-based men's outfit from the grassroots to the division two league this season.
