This is not the first time that the Belgian tactician has left the team before the end of the season as he has done so in his previous two campaigns.
AFC Leopards assistant coach Tom Juma has maintained that his boss Patrick Aussems is away on medical grounds following his absence on the touchline as Ingwe lost 2-1 to Sofapaka at Nyayo Stadium on Wednesday.
There had been speculations over the Belgian tactician’s whereabouts following his no show during the match and it later emerged that he had quietly left the country early this week with Ingwe still having two matches to play.

K’Ogalo lost three points that would have given them a huge advantage in the title race.
Juma feels Leopards, who slipped to eighth position and are set for a sixth straight year without a trophy, need to strengthen in all areas for them to challenge for titles next season especially after being hampered by a transfer ban in the last two windows.
“AFC Leopards have not achieved their targets, we are a team that wants to win trophies and when we do not do that, then we have not achieved our targets,” said Juma.
