Kenyan Premier League outfit Mathare United have asked their coach John Kamau to step aside with immediate effect.

The decision to fire the coach came after their winless run from the last three FKF Premier League matches. Since defeating Bidco United 3-0, the ‘Slum Boys’ have gone ahead to stay winless in subsequent matches.

Mathare suffered a 2-1 defeat against Nairobi United, secured a 2-2 draw against already relegated Sofapaka, and lost 2-0 against APS Bomet.
