After a few days of speculations, Michael Olunga Football Academy (MOFA) head coach Alfred Chole has resigned from his role. This comes barely a few days after 2-0 defeat to Mombasa United over the weekend. Chole missed the team’s Monday training session escalating the rumors of his departure, which finally came to light on Wednesday 12, 2025 with him releasing the official resignation statement.

Speaking to Mozzart Sports, Chole expressed his dissatisfaction with the technical director Kevin Aol, citing that he doesn’t understand his role as the director hence interfering with his role as the head coach.

He termed the menace as “cancer” revealing that it has been challenging for coaches to excel under the leadership of Aol hindering success of the club.

“MOFA is a well-resourced club, and I sincerely appreciate Captain Olunga and his brother Victor Ogada for their efforts in promoting talent and supporting families through football. However, the club has a cancer, and that cancer is deeply rooted. Coaches struggle to succeed because of the technical director, Aol, who does not understand his role and has made it difficult for every coach who has worked here,” he said.

“As an ambitious coach, I cannot sit back and allow someone to dictate which players I should field, even when they are not match-fit. I was also forced to adopt certain formations that did not align with our training sessions,” he stated.

Attributing to the club’s weekend match against Mombasa United where they lost 2-0, Alfred Chole called out Mr Aol for interfering with his match plans forcing him use newly signed players whom he termed as ‘unfit.’ He claims that some players were signed without his input terming it as unprofessional and interference with his job as the head coach which he considers unacceptable.

“Against Mombasa United, for instance, the Technical Director insisted that all the recent signings should play, even though some were not ready. Players were signed without my input, and before the match, I was pressured to adopt a lineup and formation unfamiliar to the team. This level of interference is unacceptable.” he said.

Alfred Chole is the former APS Bomet coach. MOFA is currently sitting at the 6th position of the National Super League (NSL) standing, having garnered 30 points after 19 matches.
