Vihiga United FC has officially announced the departure of their head coach, Edward Manoah, marking the end of a significant chapter in the club’s history. Manoah, a respected figure in Kenyan football, has been praised for his leadership, mentorship, and deep connection with the players and staff.
In a statement shared by the club, Vihiga United expressed their heartfelt gratitude for Manoah’s contribution both on and off the pitch. Described as a father figure to many within the team, Manoah played a pivotal role in shaping the club’s identity and nurturing young talent.
Fadiga Kidiga, Manoah’s deputy, will take over managerial duties for the remainder of the season. The club confirmed that a decision on appointing a permanent head coach will be made at the conclusion of the current campaign.
