KCB Rugby (KCB RFC) has appointed Denis Mwanja as interim Head Coach, replacing replacing Oliver Mang’eni whose contract ends on June 30, 2025, in a round of changes to the technical bench.
The changes, which take effect from May 26, will also see Backs Coach Darwin Mukidza, and Team Manager Priscilla Amollo Ong’ombe, leave the Club after the expiry of their contracts.
The transitions come at a time when the team is looking to rejuvenate itself ahead of the 2025 National Sevens Circuit starting July.
We are looking at continually rebuilding the team to get back to winning ways. The Club seeks to continue contributing positively to the game of rugby in Kenya and sustain its position as a top tier playing club. Key to this is having a team that is ‘firing on all cylinders.’ After productive discussions with the coaching team, we have made a painful but aligned decision to make changes in the tech bench,” said Club Chairman James Mugo.
“The Club remains a formidable force in the local rugby scene. Our ambition is to reclaim the Kenya Cup and Enterprise Cup titles as well as to continue churning out players to the national team. With that in mind, we have to ensure that we lay the right foundation for a successful future,” he added.
KCB Sevens campaign will be bolstered by the return of Kenyan internationals Samuel Asati, Floyd Wabwire, Festus Shiasi, and Vincent Onyala, who bring valuable experience from their recent stint with the Kenya Sevens team.
