Most importantly, though, I hope to win at least a trophy with the team this season, which will be a great achievement for us.”“The best gift we can give to our fans, who have always stood with us, the management, and ourselves, is to bag a trophy,” he added.To achieve that, the experienced former Gor Mahia, Sony Sugar and Posta Rangers defender will have to put in a good shift and use his experience to lift himself and his teammates in turbulent times.The club is expected to name Harambee Stars assistant coach Ken Odhiambo as the head coach to comply with the directive that FKF Premier League head coaches should possess a CAF A license.
