The Harambee Stars coach has expressed strong confidence that Fred Ambani is capable of guiding AFC Leopards back to league success.
Kenya's national team assistant coach, Anthony 'Modo' Kimani, has expressed strong confidence in AFC Leopards' head coach, Fred Ambani, believing he is the key to ending the club's long wait for a league title.
The Harambee Stars coach’s endorsement came after Fred Ambani guided AFC Leopards, known as Ingwe, to a victory over arch-rivals Gor Mahia in the Mashemeji Derby on Sunday, December 7. It was their first derby win in over two years.
Speaking to Azam TV after the match, which was decided by a single goal from Julius Masaba, Anthony Kimani highlighted Ambani's unique connection to the club's past successes. As a former player for AFC Leopards from 2013 to 2015, Kimani understands the club's culture well.

AFC Leopards beat Gor Mahia 1-0 during the 98th Mashemeji Derby at Nyayo Stadium, with Harambee Stars forward Victor Omune's influence vital.
"Despite playing away, AFC Leopards had more possession, especially in the second half when they had a lead to protect," he explained.
"The players showed confidence, and the substitutions to bring on two midfielders in Kelly Madada and Brian Wanyama were so important in remaining solid, even when Gor Mahia upped the pressure in the last minutes."
The Mashemeji Derby victory propelled AFC Leopards to seventh place in the league standings with 17 points from 10 games, just three points behind leaders Kenya Police.
