The team drew with Malawi in Nairobi on June 2 and lost to Namibia eight days later in two qualifying matches for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Kenya were then beaten 1-0 by Togo, ending their hopes of reaching the finals of the 2013 Nations Cup.

"The national executive committee held a meeting today and resolved to disband the entire technical staff with immediate effect," said Football Kenya Federation (FKF) chairman Sam Nyamweya in a statement.
