Ingwe have so far had 14 coaches since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>While the club chairman Dan Shikanda admitted that Trucha\u2019s future in the den is uncertain, he accused a few individuals masquerading as AFC Leopards fans of destabilising the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a serious issue with the coach (Tomas\u00a0Trucha), but we shall have a press conference with him tomorrow (Thursday) for him to decide on whether he is staying or going,\u201d said Shikanda on the sidelines of the unveiling of Betsafe sponsorship in Nairobi yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it is unfortunate that some people who masquerade as our fans are trying to destabilise the team. They have seen us doing well and they are not happy about it. What they are doing to the club right now is to kill it and the work NEC has done.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.standardmedia.co.ke\/images\/thursday\/judyev9l7bwpyzqbsb5fc8514662a17.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><figcaption><strong>AFC Leopards Goalkeeper John Oyemba and Clyde Senaji (left) are challenged by Michael Madoya and Christopher Oruchum of Tusker FC during their first match, round 1 of KPL League at Kasarani Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He continued: \u201cThe coach\u2019s agent has been threatened and the people who are doing it are also agents. We don\u2019t know what they want and the coach is definitely not happy with what is happening. We actually talked to him yesterday (Tuesday) and he feels if his agent is not safe then his life is also not safe because it is the agent who brought him to Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing whatsoever with the fielding of the coach. There is no way an agent can bring a coach and fail to advise him. But no one is interfering with the coach\u2019s work. What is happening is so serious and we will not take it lightly. We shall have to report the matter to the police.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked on the claims that his office inflated the transfer and sign on fees of players in the recent transfer window where they spent Sh7million Shikanda said: \u201cI can tell you, propaganda, rumours and hearsay should not be the order of the day here. Four of us ran the for eight months last year and used Sh 55.7 million. The branches gave us Sh 600,000, so I don\u2019t see why buying a player at Sh2m is inflating the price. For what reason can I do that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you have a problem and you think any player\u2019s transfer fees has been exaggerated just come and tell us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: AFC Leopards&#8217; trend of parting ways with coaches appears to be far from over if the news coming from the den about their head coach Tomas\u00a0Trucha\u2019s\u00a0resignation is anything to go by.
