Damain McGrath has been unveiled as the new Shujaa coach this morning.
The 64-year-old Briton signed a two-year contract and will be stepping in for Innocent Simiyu who was shown the door after a string of poor performances.
“Shujaa have such a fabulous reputation around the world of rugby,it is such an exciting team with lots of talent & potential,when the opportunity came,I grabbed it with both hands,” Damain said.
He has coached among others Germany, Canada and Samoa rugby sevens teams.
