NAIROBI, Kenya, January 26, 2025 – The Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) have announced a vacancy for the head coach position of the national women’s team.

Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) women’s volleyball team coach Japheth Munala has been at the helm of Malkia Strikers since October 25, 2023.
The veteran tactician led Kenya to last year’s Paris Olympics where Malkia Strikers once again exited the quadrennial tournament at the group stage.
Before his appointment over one-and-a-half years ago, Munala was assistant to Paul Bitok, who transited to administration as KVF’s vice-president.
Other vacancies advertised by KVF include two assistant coaches and a physical trainer.
