Eleven-time Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions Tusker have fired the entire technical bench, Nation Sport can reliably reveal.

This comes in the wake of poor results ever since the 2018 season kicked off.
The brewers fell 3-1 to Zoo Kericho in their last league match on Saturday forcing the management to act.
Further reports reveal the new bench will be unveiled on Monday with Robert Matano reported to be returning to the club he led to the 2012 title.
"We shall issue a statement on the same," said an official from the club.
Timbe replaced compatriot George "Best" Nsimbe, who was fired in November 2017 and was tasked with rebuilding a title winning squad.
The former Sofapaka boss becomes the third Ugandan coach to leave the club in less than two years after Paul Nkata in 2016 and Nsimbe last year.
Tusker are in a rebuilding process after releasing 14 players at the end of last season. They've struggled to rake in positive results that has seen the club hobbling outside the top ten on the log.
Baraza meanwhile has been shortlisted among coaches for the vacant assistant coach job at AFC Leopards.
Others are Mickey Weche, Tom Juma and Fred Ambani.
