"Everyone noticed the changes in terms of play and results he instilled in the boys and of course he deserved the chance to help the team achieve its target of a maiden league title," he was quoted by Citizen Digital.
Kimani who is commonly known as “Modo” replaced Rwandan international Andre Casa Mbungo in February 2022 on an acting capacity.
He helped the Coastal-based club to register a fourth place finish behind winners Tusker FC, record Champions Gor Mahia FC and Kakamega Homeboyz.
Modo has previously played for a number of Kenyan clubs including Sofapaka FC, Nairobi City Stars and Bandari FC.
