Reports emanating from AFC leopard camp have revealed that the Belgium tactician Patrick Aussems is set to be shown the door after a spate of poor results in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKF-PL).
According to sources, Aussems has failed to provide the needed results, with the latest being a 2-1 loss against struggling Wazito.
Ingwe as Leopards are headed into the tie against a backdrop of a heavy 4-1 loss to Bidco United last weekend and needed to redeem themselves, but Got Alila only had more pain for them in store.
Earlier, Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda sensationally claimed that his team’s poor run in the Kenyan Premier League resulted from poor playing surfaces.
While acknowledging that team’s results in recent league matches have not been pleasant, Shikanda has expressed optimism that the club will soon return to winning ways.
“The playing surface in Nyayo and Kasarani and other stadiums is working to our disadvantage. If Aussems tries to impact his philosophy of playing good football and the surface is bad, then we will still lose. The poor playing surface is working against our system of play,” Shikanda said.

FC inflicted more misery on AFC Leopards, beating them 2-1 in a Football Kenya Federation Premier League, FKFPL match played at Muhoroni Stadium on Saturday.
Ingwe as Leopards are headed into the tie against a backdrop of a heavy 4-1 loss to Bidco United last weekend and needed to redeem themselves, but Got Alila only had more pain for them in store.
Victor Omune put them ahead with a well worked goal in the 22nd, but the lead could only last a few minutes as the hosts leveled in the 37th minute through Clinton.
The game was settled at 1-1 at half time.
Wazito, who picked their first win of the season in a 2-1 win at Vihiga Bullets on Wednesday, came back stronger in the final stanza. Their persistent forward forays were rewarded with a penalty after Leopards player was adjudged to have handled in the box with Neto stepping up to convert from the spot.
Ingwe had their chance also from the spot with just two minutes left, but Omurwa’s was punched to safety.
The match had a tense ending with the visitors feeling cheated with unfair refereeing, but the security personnel were on standby to ensure peace.
Leopards have now recorded only two wins in eight games; losing four and drawing two. Meanwhile, Wazito, who started the season late, have recorded an equal number of wins, a draw and two losses.
Meanwhile, Leopards arch rivals Gor Mahia recorded their second successive win, edging out Kakamega Homeboyz 1-0 at the Bukhungu Stadium. The lone goal was scored by defender Lloyd Khavuchi.
