Muyoti was set to become Shabana head coach after agreeing terms with the club but changed his mind to stay at high flying City Stars.
Nairobi City Stars coach Nicholas Muyoti has revealed why he turned down the chance to join FC Shabana after several reports indicated he was set to be unveiled as the new head coach.
Shabana announced they had given the job to Sammy Omollo ‘Pamzo’ on Wednesday morning, ending all speculation for the foreseeable future as they hope the former title winning coach will be the man to take them forward.
Muyoti’s Simba wa Nairobi have been flying very high this season and find themselves in second place in the league on 30 points, seven behind leaders Gor Mahia.

“ So far it has been amazing how these players have come up and what they have done so far shows that it is a project that is in the making.
