Bandari FC interim coach Twahir Muhiddin has heaped praise on Anthony 'Modo' Kimani and described him as "a rare breed of coach” despite getting the sack from the club last week.

FKFPL Mudiga embarks on individual training after undergoing surgery
It seems Bandari might not have to wait for too long before the attacking midfielder returns to action.
Speaking during an online question and answer forum, Muhiddin, who worked with Kimani as his technical director, revealed that Modo’s humility and willingness to learn are qualities that will make him a successful coach in future.
“Modo is one of a very few breeds of coaches in this country,” Muhiddin said, “ I have worked with a lot of coaches, but Modo is unique.”
“He accepts that he is still learning, and acknowledges that he is still growing. I used to give him advice almost every day he was here and he would accept my advice.

FKFPL Bandari sack Anthony Kimani, announce interim replacement
The move comes following Bandari's FKF Cup exit at the hands of Kimani's former employers, AFC Leopards.
“He says he has never met a coach like me given my door is always open. I pass my knowledge through teaching and Modo is one coach that is willing to learn. He is a rare breed of coach.”
The ex-Kenya international landed his initial role at the club in February 2021 when he was absorbed as Rwandese tactician Andre Casa Mbungo’s deputy.
He took over the reins in an acting capacity in February last year after Mbungo was sent packing following a horrendous run in the league.
