Some teams knew they were out of contention so they started planning for next season,””The time for us to plan the league was short but I’m happy we are catching up very well after a slow start to the season,” said the former Gor Mahia assistant coach.KCB now sit seventh on the log with 11 points from six games and are trailing log leaders Gor Mahia by three points.🗣 Had a brief talk with the coach last night and this is what he had to say about being acknowledged as the 1st Runner Up @Officialfkfpl coach of the season and what to expect in his 3rd season with the team.#Believe #LionHearted 🦁 pic.twitter.com/KH0Ignwf2d— KCB Football Club 😷 (@KCBFootball) September 15, 2021 Zico’s side gave a good account of themselves taking the title race with eventual champions Tusker to the wire with the Brewers needing a result on the final day of the season.The start this season is in contrast to the blistering form they were in following a streak of six straight wins before their run was halted by AFC Leopards then.
