The gaffer is remembered for guiding Vihiga United to the top flight from the National Super League in 2020.
As Heroes looked to calm the things down, Shabana pressing never allowed them to get comfortable, with Sammy Okoth’s men dominating early possession.
Skillful play from Isaac Otile in the 15th minute saw him have a shot on goal, which unfortunately for the speedy winger went well wide off target.
Otile finally broke the deadlock in the 20th minute after a low cross from the left allowed him to tap the ball into the back of the net from close range.

FKFPL ‘We will cross the bridge when we get there’ - Matano on Tusker's chance at the double
Tusker may achieve a double of league and cup wins for the first time since 2016.
Coastal Heroes looked dangerous every time they pushed forward and they nearly managed to pull one back after a long range effort by Ghalib Ali clipped outside of the post, which looked to give the visitors some confidence.
Sammy Okoth then introduced veteran forward Vincent Nyabuto eight minutes later as they looked to extend their lead.
The momentum was with Heroes in the closing stages as they were hoping to find their way back into the encounter.
However, Shabana stood firm at the back with Oduor denying Jacob Mshiri in stoppage time with the hosts holding on for a memorable win.
