KCB Rugby Football Club (KCB RFC) has announced a major shake-up in its technical bench as the team gears up for the 2025 National Sevens Circuit, set to kick off in July.
The club has appointed Denis Mwanja as interim Head Coach, replacing Oliver Mang’eni, whose contract ends on June 30, 2025. The changes, effective from May 26, also see the departure of Backs Coach Darwin Mukidza and Team Manager Priscilla Amollo Ong’ombe following the expiry of their contracts.
Club Chairman James Mugo emphasized that the decision was made after productive discussions with the outgoing coaching team, aiming to rejuvenate the squad and return to winning ways. “We are looking at continually rebuilding the team to get back to winning ways.
The Club seeks to continue contributing positively to the game of rugby in Kenya and sustain its position as a top-tier playing club. Key to this is having a team that is ‘firing on all cylinders,’” Mugo stated.
Mugo further highlighted KCB’s ambition to reclaim the Kenya Cup and Enterprise Cup titles, as well as to continue developing players for the national team.
“Our ambition is to reclaim the Kenya Cup and Enterprise Cup titles as well as to continue churning out players to the national team. With that in mind, we have to ensure that we lay the right foundation for a successful future,” he added.
The club’s Sevens campaign will be strengthened by the return of Kenyan internationals Samuel Asati, Floyd Wabwire, Festus Shiasi, and Vincent Onyala, who bring valuable experience from their recent stint with the Kenya Sevens team.
