In a statement, the club, nicknamed Tore Bobe, said: “Shabana wishes to inform our supporters, partners, and the general public that the club has mutually agreed to part ways with head coach Peter Okidi.

Shabana wishes Okidi best in future endeavors

“The decision has been reached amicably, and with mutual respect, following constructive discussions between both parties.”

The statement continued: “The club expresses its sincere appreciation to coach Okidi for his commitment, professionalism, and the dedication he demonstrated during his tenure. His contribution to the team is highly valued, and he leaves with our utmost respect.

“We wish coach Okidi the very best in his future endeavors, both professionally and personally. Regarding the technical bench, we will communicate in due course through the club’s official channels.”

Okidi joined Shabana in 2024

Okidi joined Shabana in 2024 from FKF Division One side Nakuru Bucks, taking charge of his first match against Nairobi City Stars at Gusii Stadium.

After a difficult start that saw the team endure a five-match winless run, he turned things around and guided the side to a fifth-place finish with 53 points.

He led the Glamour Boys to the Round of 16 in the FKF Cup, where they were eliminated by Kakamega Homeboyz at Moi Stadium, Kisumu.

Last season, Okidi took over from the sixth match and went on to manage 29 league matches alongside three FKF Cup fixtures. This season, he has overseen 24 league matches and two FKF Cup games.

Across his 58 matches in charge, Okidi recorded 29 wins, 15 draws, and 14 losses. He departs with Shabana sitting third in the league standings and having reached the FKF Cup Round of 16.
