Four sides will be under new coaches and they include Oliver Mang’eni who was handed the reigns at KCB Rugby following the departure of long-serving Curtis Olago.

Mang’eni who first led the Bankers in the Enterprise Cup will be keen to guide the side back to success after enduring a tough run in the last few seasons.
For Impala RFC they are under coach Louis Kisia who had a successful run in his first two seasons at Strathmore Leos. The former Mwamba RFC man will be keen to lead the Gazelles to an impressive return to the top tier.
