Zico Spotted, Rumors Flying: Is Shabana Already Moving On After Okidi?

Welcome to another Shabana faithful episode.

And this time, it’s one name making rounds again:

Zico.

Spotted at the Leopards vs “Naigoons” game.

And just like that, the timeline did what it does best.

Two Theories. Both Loud.

• Incoming Shabana head coach

• Future Ingwe boss… after we beat them in the Mashemeji Derby

It sounds like banter.

But here’s the thing — it doesn’t come from nowhere.

Because right now, Shabana is in that exact space where rumors grow legs.

The Timing Is Too Perfect

Peter Okidi is gone, the team sitting fourth after the Gor Mahia 2-1 win in the capital. That alone tells you everything about the situation. Shabana didn’t just make a change. They opened a door.

And according to reports, that door is already being watched closely.

The club has already started searching for a permanent replacement, with assistant Andrew Ongwae stepping in temporarily.

And There Are Names Floating Around

Even before the Zico sighting, names like Anthony Akhulia, Johnathan McKinstry were already circulating. Both mentioned in discussions around potential replacements.

But Let’s Not Lose the Plot

Here’s where things get real.

Shabana is now:

• 4rd in the league

• In the middle of a title race

Names are flying.

The door is open.

So… Is Zico Coming?
