“Sofapaka had settled on two coaches but Odhiambo is likely to take the job,” the source who preferred anonymity said.
“Sofapaka are now engaging Bandari over the possible release of the coach and they remain hopeful everything will go as targeted.”
Baraza left after the club lost the season opener 1-0 against the Dockers in Mombasa before they picked a 3-1 win against Western Stima.
The 3-0 loss at Kasarani against AFC Leopards on Saturday is the result that saw Baraza consequently step aside as head coach.
“Physical trainer Diallo Kwasi and assistant coach Martin Ndagano have also been dropped from the main team to the club’s youth team,” Sofapaka said as they confirmed other changes at the club.
