The club has also secured the services of key players like Jaffari Owiti, Brian Wanyama, Mousa Oundo, Saad Musa, Lewis Bandi, Kaycie Odhiambo, Washington Munene, Levis Opiyo, and Maxwell Mulili who part of the club last season.

AFC Leopards have also made signings, bolstering their squad for the upcoming season. New additions include Humphrey Katasi, Cliff Miheso, Kevin Kimani, Aziz Okaka, and Luke Namanda, injecting fresh talent and experience into the team.

AFC Leopards start

The club has faced a challenging start to the 2023/24 season, with mixed results in their initial matches, including losses and draws.

Currently under the leadership of Tom Juma, who took over as the head coach in July following the resignation of Patrick Aussems, AFC Leopards are determined to reclaim their former glory.

Tom Juma had previously served as the assistant head coach at the club, and his promotion to the helm reflects the club’s belief in his ability to guide them to success.

Alongside Juma, Fred Ambani, a former head coach of Wazito and Nakumatt FC, has been appointed as an assistant coach, further strengthening the club’s technical bench.
