The Dockers have made wholesale changes to the technical bench, including the addition of former Gor Mahia goalkeeper Jerim Onyango.
Bandari FC head coach Twahir Muhiddin has explained why the club had to make wholesale changes to the technical bench, including the appointment of former Gor Mahia and Harambee Stars goalkeeper Jerim Onyango from Kariobangi Sharks.
The Dockers are trying to make changes that will edge them closer to winning a first piece of silverware since laying their hands on the FKF Shield in 2019, which allowed them to qualify for the 2019/2020 CAF Confederation Cup.

FKFPL Unveiling Muhiddin's motives: The inside story on why he ultimately accepted Bandari job
Muhiddin initially had no plans of staying as head coach beyond the end of the season, but was convinced to have a change of heart and will be taking charge of the dockers for the 2023/2024 season.
“The new office ratified the decision the former office managers had put forward when they let Kimani go. The whole bench was to go but I pleaded with the office not to let them go until the end of the season, and they gave me the go-ahead.
“However, the new office wanted new changes so we had to change.”
