Kenya Pipeline coach Geoffrey Omondi faces a tough task ahead after he was named the new women's national team Malkia Strikers head coach on Saturday.

Omondi was picked after a recruitment process that saw him beat other candidates among them former Malkia Strikers head coach Japheth Munala of KCB Bank and former Malkia Strikers star Catherine Mabwi who has managed junior women's teams in the past.
