Michael "Azeu" Kamure (born 26 September 1976) is a Kenyan football manager and former player, who is currently an assistant coach at Kenyan National Super League side Nairobi Stima.
Playing career
After completing his studies, he moved to the Kenyatta Hospital football team where he teamed up in the midfield with former A.F.C. Leopards assistant coach Nicholas Muyoti and Ulinzi Stars central defender Mulinge Ndeto.[1][2] He moved to the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and then to Trust Bank. His enthusiasm for player organisation took over and he stepped onto the coaching path.
Coaching career
Kamure started his coaching career as an assistant at his former Kenyatta Hospital side before moving back to KEMRI. Ligi Ndogo Academy director Ibrahim Mbikalo gave in a strong recommendation for him to be signed on by the club as their head coach.
A graduate of the Dutch KNVB Academy, Kamure's first match in charge of Ligi Ndogo ended in a 3-2 Nationwide League win over Iron Strikers on 19 May 2012. He led his team to a sixth-place finish in the 2012 season, with 15 wins in 37 games in the league. He guided the team to five more wins the following season before leaving the club on 1 September 2013.
On 6 February 2014, it was reported that Kamure joined Nairobi Stima, who were promoted to the newly formed Kenyan National Super League, as an assistant coach ahead of the 2014 season.[3]
