Wazito forward Erick Gichimu hopes working under the watchful eyes of revered tactician Francis Kimanzi will give him breakthrough in his career this season. Gichimu ditched Bidco United for Wazito a couple of days ago and bagged his first goal for the club in their 3-2 win against National Super League side Kibera Black Stars on Saturday in a friendly match. The 25-year old who is in second season in the top tier had a decent return of goals in the past and his debut campaign, netting seven goals to attract the attention of Wazito. Gichimu, who termed Kimanzi as one of the best coaches in the league said the former Harambee Stars boss has been keen on polishing his goal poaching instincts for the days he has trained under him.FTWazito FC 3-2 Kibera Black Stars (Gichimu, Tyson, Oburu)Thank you for the good game KBS and good luck in the coming season.#Wazito4life— Wazito Football Club (@wazitofc) October 2, 2021 The former Mwiki United player admitted that Kimanzi’s training sessions were tough but at the same time are the best in molding a player to greatness. “I believe I will have a great season at Wazito.
