Posta Rangers’ Macharia Crowned March Player of the Month as Ambani Claims Coaching Honors

March in the SportPesa Premier League belonged to Posta Rangers’ midfield engine Jackson Macharia, whose red-hot form powered him to the Player of the Month award after a decisive run in front of goal. Operating from midfield but finishing like a seasoned striker, Macharia found the net four times in four matches, underlining his growing influence in the Rangers setup.

His standout moment came in a commanding display against K-Sharks where he struck a brace, setting the tone for a prolific month. He followed that up with crucial goals against Gor Mahia and Kenya Police, consistently delivering when his side needed inspiration in the final third. Across the month, Posta Rangers managed two wins, one draw, and one defeat, with Macharia at the heart of their attacking thrust.

The award did not come easily, with Macharia edging out strong competition from AFC Leopards’ Tyson Otieno, Ulinzi Stars’ Paul Okoth, and Mara Sugar’s central defender Robinson Mzungu. His match-winning contributions ultimately tipped the scale, earning him a customized trophy and a KSh 50,000 cash prize courtesy of SportPesa.

On the touchline, AFC Leopards head coach Fred Ambani was equally influential, guiding Ingwe through a near-perfect run that saw them firmly insert themselves into the title conversation. Four wins in five matches, with the only setback coming in a shock defeat to Mathare United, propelled Leopards to within touching distance of the league summit.

Ambani’s tactical discipline and ability to get the best out of his squad have been central to the club’s resurgence, and his efforts have now been rewarded with the Coach of the Month accolade. This marks his second such honor this season, having previously claimed the award in December.

He saw off stiff competition from Gor Mahia’s Charles Akonnor, Tusker’s Julien Mette, and Kenya Police’s Nicholas Muyoti, further underlining the scale of his achievement. For his efforts, Ambani takes home KSh 75,000 and a trophy, capping off a month where both individual brilliance and tactical excellence defined the league’s standout performers.
