FKF Premier League hopefuls Kisumu All Stars’ woes seem to never end.When not battling financial crises that in the most part have hampered their season thus far, they are battling in-house tensions and player unrest.Follow our WhatsApp channel for more newsFormer club captain Frederick Omollo has made an unexpected announcement that he will not be part of the club, not next season, but for the remainder of the season.For a club that always seems to weather the storm and still stand strong, this latest development could hamper the morale in coach Bruno Warinda’s unit that just won over MOFA in their last league outing and are within touching distance of a promotion slot with six matches to go.KCB interim coach “surprised” by role, not ready to take it up permanentlyOmollo, a seasoned centre-back and former skipper (leadership changes at the club saw him stripped of this role), has only played thrice this season. He says a player can always tell if they are having a bad season.‘’It has not been a great season. A player always knows if the season has been good and in my case I know that having played just three matches, that is a disappointing tally but everything has its plan,’’ he says.The 25 year old currently trains with his former club Kisumu Hot Stars, keeping fit as the season winds down. Leaving All Stars, especially in the manner in which he has, springs up more questions than answers. He, however, has a few.##NAJAVA_MECA_8945041##‘’I left because there have been a lot of frustrations within the team, for a while, and I could not have stayed when I am not at peace. It would have been construed as me bringing negative energy to the team so for the sake of both parties it was wise to not see the season through but in all honesty, it has been tough,’’ reveals the Omollo who has played for Shabana FC in the past.All Stars currently lie seventh on the 20-team National Super League (NSL) standings and at 46 points, just four shy of third placed Naivas FC.The promotion playoff position seemingly not too far off with six more fixtures on the cards for Bruno’s men, Omollo believes his teammates can go all the way.Story of viral inter-gender Soft Ground Wrestling changing Ugandan’s lives”Of course I wish the team all the very best in the remaining fixtures. I have served the club both as captain and assistant captain so I leave a proud man and wish the club all the best in its future endeavours. My teammates have put in a good fight throughout the season despite everything happening outside the field. With the kind of focus they have, they can still upset the order of things by the time the season ends,” he adds.Having parted ways with All Stars, the lanky centre-back has headed ‘home’ to Kisumu Hot Stars, welcomed by coach Billy Agai but he is just keeping fit as he mulls over the next move from here.Rising Stars AFCON U-20 top scorer attracts global interest”I’m not completely out. There is still a lot of time for me and I was welcomed to train with Kisumu Hot Stars by Coach Billy Agai to keep my fitness levels up to the right standards. I’ve played for Hot Stars in the past so it still feels like home,” says Omollo.With his contract still running at Otenga, Omollo will be careful to wait it out before putting pen to paper elsewhere.”My contract with All Stars still runs up until August and from there I will be open to a move to newer challenges. That’s why I am keeping fit,” he concludes.
