New Nairobi City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti will be looking to start his tenure with a win when he leads his troops in confronting Sofapaka in their opening match of the 2021 /2022 Football Kenya Federation Premier League season at the Wundanyi Stadium.Muyoti joined the Kawangware based club last month filling in the void left by Sanjin Alagic who left in July following the expiry of his contract.Prior to his arrival, John Amboko who served as Sanjin’s assistant held the head coach role albeit on interim basis.Having inherited a team that finished eighth in the concluded season, all eyes will be on him as the team brought in new players and tied down their experienced midfielder Peter Opiyo who played a crucial role to their good performance last season.👊|Matchday@FC_Sofapaka vs @NrbCityStars in Wundanyi from 3pm#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/Wc3rFuKrFU— FKF Premier League (@Officialfkfpl) September 26, 2021 Simba wa Nairobi secured the services of Dennis Wanjala from Nzoia Sugar and former league’s Most Valuable Player in Michael Madoya who joined from Tusker and at the same time parted ways with players whom were deemed surplus to requirement.They face an opponent who has lost more than half a dozen players and has gone ahead to sign inexperienced players thanks to the transfer embargo imposed by FIFA.Despite bringing in a number of players who include former AFC Leopards defensive midfielder Said Tsuma and winger Hansel Ochieng, coach Kennedy Odhiambo has regretted that he will not select them as Zurich is yet to clear the team.🔙 | And we are back! ⚽ | Match Day 🏆 | @Officialfkfpl🔛 | Vs @NrbCityStars ⌚ | 3pm EAT📍 | Wundanyi@betikaKe @OyandoRonny #BatotoBaMungu pic.twitter.com/pRWjmTyxIZ— Sofapaka FC (@FC_Sofapaka) September 26, 2021 “We are ready for the match although I have a very lean squad.
