Kenyatta, previously in charge at Ushuru FC, highlighting that he is no stranger to the league.“In terms of the team, yes FC Talanta is a newly promoted outfit in the league, but as a coach, I am not new in the premier league,” the coach told Mozzart Sport.Despite starting the season on such a strong footing, the experienced coach is not distracted by the league position they are currently in. Nonetheless, he has credited his team for where they are because of the hard work they show in matches.”I am not looking at the position of the team. I just want to win one game at a time. The position will come later because if I start looking at it now, I will lose track of what we want to do. I however have to say that I am impressed of the start we have had because we really work hard for it and we deserve it,” the coach added.On Sunday, FC Talanta will take on Posta Rangers in their next league fixture. Will they keep up with their impressive start to the season?
