With two months to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic qualifiers, there is growing speculation that Kenya Sevens coach Paul Murunga could be leaving the team barely half-way through his two-year contract.

While Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) officials have in recent days remained coy on Murunga’s future, sources indicate that the former Homeboyz RFC coach has been fired, although the country’s rugby governing body is yet to make a formal announcement confirming his dismissal.
