    Nairobi City Stars coach John Amboko has come through a four-month coaching course, overseen by Football Federation of Kenya (FKF) instructors, as sanctioned by CAF, to graduate with a ‘B’ license Diploma.

    Amboko, at Nairobi City Stars since 2002 to 2017 as a player – save for 2013 when did a season at AFC Leopards-, is one of 25 coaches who received the certificate following the completion of classes that kicked off in mid-September this year in Kasarani.

    Amboko has steadily been piling up his coaching badges and the latest CAF ‘B’ license is an upscale of his CAF ‘C’ one acquired – alongside Tiellen Oguta – back in October 2019.

    “We are elated at his coaching progression. Amboko is a club legend having started his career as a player way back in 2002 before venturing into coaching in 2017. We are proud of his latest achievement and as a team we are very happy to see him grow.” said club CEO

    Amboko becomes the third City Stars coach to complete a coaching course this year.

    In mid-October, assistant coach Noah Abich and a keeper trainer Zachary Onyango completed a one-month CAF ā€˜C’ Diploma license course in Kisumu.
