Veteran coach Patrick Aussems was recently appointed as the new AFC Leopards Sports Club Head Coach.
The Belgium, who has been in Africa for more than two decades now, joins the club after a successful stint at Tanzania’s Simba SC where he guided Simba S.C. to the Tanzanian Premier League title in 2018/19 and reached the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League.
Aussems, who holds a UEFA PRO coaching license, will take charge of his first assignment this weekend when AFC leopards take on Taita Taveta All-Stars in an FKF Cup match, Saturday in Wundayi.
Away from football, the 55-year-old coach is a very reserved and private man. So private is Aussems that he has managed to keep his family away from the limelight to appoint that many think he’s single.
The coach however surprised his fans by sharing a photo of his wife and family. Aussems has been married for 34 years and is believed to have two boys.
He started posting them on social media in 2020 but doesn’t talk much about his family in general.
