Kariobangi Sharks head coach William Muluya is charting a new course for the upcoming season, aiming to keep the core of his squad intact—a departure from their usual trend of losing key players to rival clubs.Known for nurturing fledgling talents into stars, Sharks have often found themselves rebuilding every season after losing top performers to competitors or teams abroad.##NAJAVA_MECA_8186095##In the recently concluded season, Sharks fielded one of the youngest teams in the league, ultimately clinching a commendable seventh place with 48 points. Their campaign saw a dramatic turnaround in fortunes during the second leg, catalyzed by the arrival of John Makwata, who netted an impressive 16 league goals post-mid-season, becoming a pivotal addition to the team.Muluya, who also serves as an assistant coach for Harambee Stars, expressed his desire to avoid another rebuilding phase.”This year, for the first time, we will strive to retain all our top players,” Muluya asserted. “In past seasons, we’ve released 13 or 14 players annually, making it challenging for us.
