AFC Leopards new head coach, Tom Juma, has thanked the club hierarchy for offering him the opportunity to lead the club and promised to do his best to deliver titles to the den.Juma was named on Tuesday morning as the new head coach. He had served as Patrick Aussems’ assistant for two years, and following the Belgian’s departure from the den, the club agreed to hand him the mantle. His former Ingwe teammate Fred Ambani will deputize him.##NAJAVA_MECA_7390390##The tactician is happy to be at the helm of the club that last won the league title when he was a player, and the former midfielder wants to bring glory back to the den.”I want to thank the office for believing in me. They gave me this opportunity because they believe that I can do something good on this team,” he said. Change of guard: Tom Juma appointed AFC Leopards head coachGaza, as he is famously referred to, doesn’t believe stepping from his former role to the position of head coach is a big thing. He says he knows his way around and adds that the bare minimum next season will be leading the club to titles.”I do not think much has changed because I have been part of this technical bench for a while now, and so it is just continuing with the work that we have been doing for all these years. The Leopards ambition every season is to win titles, and that is what we will try to do in the coming season. A season that ends without a title is regarded as a failure.”.Leopards is currently under a FIFA transfer ban for breaching Aussems’ contract. The club was directed to pay the coach Ksh 20 million for the ban to be lifted, and Juma is hopeful that a solution will be arrived at before the transfer window closes in September.”We are hopeful that things will go our way regarding the FIFA cases. We want to strengthen the team, and I am confident that I will have a better team next season,” he added.The team resumed training on Monday, with old and new players showing up.Unsettled Sakari open to Tusker exit
