Kenya Cup side Kenya Harlequin has parted ways with coach Paul Murunga.
The club announced that they have mutually parted ways with the tactician effective May 1.
Murunga has been instrumental in building a strong foundation, instilling a winning mindset, and nurturing homegrown talent. Murunga was appointed as Head Coach in May 2022.
During his tenure, he led Kenya Harlequin to impressive successes, including lifting the National 7s Circuit, Driftwood 7s, Ingo 7s, and the Mwamba Cup.
He was awarded the Kenya Harlequin Spirit of Rugby Shield at the 2023 annual club dinner.
Paul Murunga said: “It’s been a privilege to serve this great club. I am proud of what we have achieved.”
Club Chairman Victor Sudi said: “Paul brought deep knowledge and passion to his roles at Kenya Harlequin. We are grateful for his three years with Quins, and we wish him the very best in his coaching journey ahead. He will always be welcome as a friend at Kenya Harlequin.”
Director of Rugby Joel Nganga said: “Paul leaves Kenya Harlequin as a winner. He revitalised the men’s squad and played a key role in the club’s return to women’s and age-grade rugby. He guided us to multiple trophies, and his place in Quins’ history is assured. Good luck in your future endeavours, Pau.”
Following the conclusion of the 2024/2025 season, Kenya Harlequin is conducting a full review with a revamped management team structure to be announced soon.
