Ingwe's plans were thrown into disarray after the previous occupant of the position resigned.
Although Mwalala has yet to win the Premier League title in his previous workstations, his ability to mould young players into competent stars is one of the traits that make him attractive. He is also one of the young coaches who have been in the game for some time now.
He honed his Premier League coaching skills at Nzoia Sugar before he moved to Bandari. KCB have managed to pick him up from their rivals, Ulinzi Stars.

The club's top official is hopeful of a better run at the continental stage, despite the fact that this will be their debut campaign.
Anthony 'Modo' Kimani, a former Bandari and AFC Leopards head coach, and Francis Kimanzi, a Premier League winner and former Harambee Stars and Mathare United tactician, as well as Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee, a former Tusker, and Kenya coach, are the high profile coaches available who are not currently attached to any side.
With Mwalala now in charge, it remains to be seen whether the Bankers can now break the Premier League title jinx. They have made several attempts to win the league, but their efforts have come up short.
