Kenya Sevens national team coach Mike Friday and
his strength and conditioning counterpart Chris Brown have been sacked,
the Kenya Rugby Union Elite Squads and Development director Philip
Jalang’o said.
In an email sent to newsrooms,
Jalang’o explained that Friday and his team “failed to exemplify the
Vision, Mission and Core Values of KRU at certain points of the season.”
He said that the decision to fire the duo was arrived at by the KRU
board after evaluation of the team’s performance.
Jalango said that KRU has, with immediate effect,
appointed Assistant Coach Felix Totti Ochieng as interim head coach and
will be assisted by Western Province’s (South Africa) Bronson Weir.
“Felix has been with the program
10 years, and the board has great confidence in Felix's ability, and
Bronson Weir to guide the team to the world cup. The KRU board is not
giving up on our long term goals for the Kenya 7’s program.” He said in
the statement.
Jalang’o has been attracting
controversy in his administrative career in rugby starting with his
sacking and subsequent expulsion as the chairman of the Ngong Road-based
Kenya Harlequins RFC. He was later to be elected as a KRU director and
controversy has stalked him since then.
