National Super League side Kibera Black Stars have made a statement in their technical department by appointing Tom Juma as their new first assistant coach, a move that blends pedigree with ambition as the club chases its competitive goals this season.
Juma, a veteran of Kenyan football, has a rich history both on the field and on the touchline. As a player, he was a stalwart midfield presence for AFC Leopards and other clubs, and he represented the Harambee Stars with distinction during his career.
His coaching journey has been equally rooted in domestic football. Juma previously took charge of Muhoroni Youth, where he handled managerial responsibilities, and served in various coaching roles at AFC Leopards, including assistant coach and caretaker manager.
For Kibera Black Stars, bringing Juma into the fold signals an intention to combine tactical acumen with calm leadership. Essential attributes in a league defined by tight competition and ambitions for promotion. This addition strengthens the club’s bench as they look to build consistency and strategic discipline across matches.
Between the lines, Juma’s appointment offers both experience and footballing insight. These are qualities that can galvanize young talent and provide the tactical edge needed in a long National Super League season.
As the campaign unfolds, all eyes will be on how his influence helps shape training, match preparation, and in-game decisions for a club eager to leave its mark.
