Jackline Juma has made history by becoming the first woman to be appointed head coach of an elite male team in the Kenyan Premiership, signing a one-year deal with FC Talanta on August 10. This groundbreaking move could also mark her as the first woman to coach a top-tier men's team in Africa and potentially globally.

• Jackline Juma, a CAF A licensed coach and former Harambee Starlets player, was previously coach of Gor Mahia Queens in the National Women's Super League.
• Godfrey Mwaloma, CEO of FC Talanta, stated that Juma's appointment was based on her credentials and the league's requirement for CAF A or CAF PRO coaching licenses.
• Juma looks to inspire other women, emphasizing that gender should not hinder female coaches from reaching the highest levels of the sport.
