KCB Football Club has intensified its preparations for the 2026/27 Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Premier League campaign after unveiling a strengthened technical bench and seven new players ahead of the season opener in August.
Subsequently, the Club has appointed experienced tacticians Peter Okidi Okoth as Assistant Coach, who joins from Mombasa United and Boniface Olouch Otieno as Goalkeeping Coach, who joins from Gor Mahia.
To strengthen the playing squad, KCB has signed seven new players including, right back Mark Oduor from Shabana FC, left back Jim Owili from Mara Sugar, defensive midfielder Fidel Origa from Gor Mahia, attacking midfielder Brian Ouru from Mathare United, Burundian winger Franck Nduwimana from Gorilla FC, striker Assis Mambote from Shabana FC and central midfielder Geoffrey Ojunga from Bandari FC.
The arrivals come as part of a broader squad restructuring that has also seen 10 players leave the club following a challenging 2025/26 season in which the team finished seventh in the FKF Premier League and settled fourth place in the FKF Cup.
Head Coach Robert Matano said, “We have been deliberate in identifying players who fit the way we want to play and who possess the quality, discipline and mentality required at KCB. The reinforcement of our technical bench will ensure that we are better prepared for the demands of the new season.”
KCB has also enhanced its performance and analysis department with the appointment of Tobby Owino as the Club’s new Video Analyst, who joined the club last season.
Meanwhile, Samuel Macharia, who rejoined the Club during the second half of the 2025/26 season, will continue in his role as Strength and Conditioning Coach.
KCB FC Patron Azu Ogola said, “KCB Football Club has consistently demonstrated its ambition to compete at the highest level, and these changes reflect our commitment to building a team capable of challenging for trophies. We have assembled a strong technical team and recruited quality players who share our vision. As we head into the new season, our expectations are clear. We want to be competitive in every match and make our supporters proud through consistent performances.”
