Trigger-happy Wazito FC chairman Ricardo Bardoer has fired coach Melis Medo, barely a month after he took over at the struggling Kenyan Premier League side.
Medo was shown the door on Wednesday, November20 after a shock 2-0 defeat to the newly promoted Kisumu All Stars away in Kisumu.

That was his second successive loss in three games since he replaced Fred Ambani, who was also shown the door after strings of poor performances.

Medo confirmed that his contract was terminated in an exclusive phone interaction with TUKO.co.ke as he credited his side's bad form to poor team fighting spirit.
Part of his contract involved trying to turn the team's fortunes around sooner than later.
Medo was reportedly also guilty of failing to unite the dressing room, leading to revolt from a section of his players. It is suspected that players turned against him by failing to deliver on the pitch, but Medo was a bit philosophical when asked about the sabotaged claims.
"Fighting (spirit from players) is the keyword and I’m not sure what’s going on behind the scene. I’m not upset by the way, I salute teams with fighting spirits over anything else. I can’t score goals myself if the players can’t." he said.

"We are friends regardless though. Rico is a good man."
But when asked about his next move and whether he may consider taking some legal action for breach of contract, Medo simply said he "was not sure".
Former coach Frank Ouna, who left the club after guiding them back to the top KPL, is set to return to take over on a caretaker basis as Wazito management shop around for a permanent replacement, whom we understand will be a foreigner.
