Tusker FC, the 12-time Kenyan league kings, eye a fresh start with Frenchman Julien Mette as incoming head coach, set to replace Charles Okere after Saturday’s 3-1 stumble against Mathare United.
Okere’s tenure crumbled under a rocky season—eight losses in 20 matches landing the Brewers ninth with 28 points, trailing Gor Mahia by 15. Pressure peaked post a 4-0 drubbing by AFC Leopards in January, prompting chairman Charles Gacheru to signal shake-ups for consistency.
Mette, spotted at the match with Anthony Kimani, packs African credentials from Tongo FC, Djibouti nationals (their first World Cup group stage), AS Otoho, and Rayon Sports. His mission: spark Tusker’s league fightback and chase the Mozzart Bet Cup.
Club insiders hint at wider reforms, blending technical tweaks with management shifts to reclaim the Brewers’ championship edge.
