Kenya Police have acquired the services of Serbian coach Dusan Stojanović following the departure of Etienne Ndayiragije.
Police, who were taking part in the lucrative CAF competition, saw their journey come to an end in the second preliminary round after losing to Sudanese champions Al-Hilal Omdurman over two legs.
The first leg in Nairobi ended in a 1-0 defeat before losing the return leg 3-1 in Sudan. Police left the stage on a 4-1 aggregate defeat.
The Serbian was presented before the media on Sunday evening at the club’s Police Sacco Stadium following the law enforcers 0-0 draw with Posta Rangers at the same venue.
Stojanovic arrives at a Kenya Police side, who are currently languishing at the relegation zone. Police are placed 17th, one place above the bottom, with five points from three matches. They have managed one win, two draws, and are yet to suffer defeat.
Their opening fixture ended in a 0-0 draw against Ulinzi Stars before they recovered to beat promoted side APS Bomet 1-0. Police’s third fixture ended in a 0-0 draw against Posta Rangers.
Stojanovic’s first assignment will be a league fixture against Sofapaka on Wednesday, before they face Tusker FC on Sunday.
Dusan promised to work hard and help the team achieve their highest goals possible.
“We can promise that we will always work hard and we will never give up but always fight for what is our target and goal. Thank you for coming here and I hope we will be in good relations,” the former Sports Club (SC) Villa head coach said.
The Serb boasts relative coaching experience in Africa, having tutored in Uganda where he steered SC Villa to their 17th league title in 2023/24. He was previously the assistant at African giants Zamalek of Egypt, under fellow countryman, Milutin Sredojevic and Yannick Ferrera.
