Career

Otieno was appointed interim coach of the Kenya national football team[2] until he was relieved by Francis Kimanzi in November 2011.[3]

Otieno played for Gor Mahia,[4] and made appearances for the Kenya national football team, including two 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.

After retiring from playing football, Otieno became a manager. He led his former team Gor Mahia before being appointed Kenya national team manager in December 2010.[5]

After the end of the 2012 Kenyan Premier League, Otieno left Sony Sugar to become a politician.
