Tanzania Mainland Premier League side Biashara United have appointed Patrick Odhiambo as their head coach to replace fellow Kenyan Francis Baraza who departed to Kagera Sugar.
Until his latest appointment, Odhiambo was Nicholas Muyoti’s assistant coach at the FKF Premier League side Kakamega Homeboyz.
"I am happy to have received the opportunity to work with Biashara," Odhiambo said during his unveiling.
"It is a challenge that I have accepted and I am ready to help the team achieve the set objectives. I thank the management for trusting me with the job; it shows they know what I am capable of achieving."
Odhiambo has coached Sony Sugar before joining Gor Mahia as the assistant coach under Steven Polack.
He then left at the beginning of the 2020/21 season for Homeboyz in the same capacity.
Biashara chairman Selemani Mataso exuded confidence the Caf B license holder will help the team finish in the top four positions.
"We had about 60 coaches who had sent applications for this job but his CV was impressive," the official stated.
"The board felt he is best suited to succeed Baraza who had done a wonderful job before getting another challenge. We have set a target of finishing in the top four by the end of the season, and we are confident Odhiambo will help us achieve it.
"We wanted consistency in tactical approach and youth development in the team and Odhiambo can deliver that. As the management, we are going to accord him all the support he needs to help the club develop."
Biashara are currently placed fourth on the table with 44 points from the 28 matches played.
