Bandari team Organising Secretary Dickson Kibagendi has revealed the club is planning to release 19 players from their squad.
Kibagendi says the current number making up the entire squad is too big but went ahead to say they have not zeroed in on who is going to be released.
Earlier rumours had indicated assistant coach Ibrahim Shikanda had already been relieved of his duties but Kibagendi has dismissed those reports.
"As we speak, we have a total of 49 members of the team meaning we will have to let go of at least 19 people but only at the right time. The rumours doing the rounds that we have sacked some members of the technical bench are not true," Kibagendi told Nation Sports.
"We have five coaches among them head coach Kennedy Odhiambo, assistant coaches Mohamed Nassoro, Ibrahim Shikanda, Razak Siwa, and team manager Wilson Obungu. This is a number we think is too big by local standards."
