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.
He has been blamed for singlehandedly restructuring the 11 year old Bamburi Rugby
