Nairobi City Stars head coach Nicholas Muyoti has lauded the impact that the club’s mid-season acquisitions have had on the team’s improvement in terms of performance in the second phase of the season.Simba Wa Nairobi had a dismal first leg of the campaign, managing just three wins. This was largely due to the club’s decision to let go of the majority of their seasoned players and replaced them with young, untested players from the lower leagues.##NAJAVA_MECA_7301213##After a horrible first phase of the campaign, they made six mid-season signings, five of them with FKF Premier League experience, while one was roped in from third. The five new signings are Salim Abdallah, Vincent Owino, Dennis Oalo, Levis Barasa, James Mazembe, and Syllvanoes Kubasu. Only Kubasu had not graced Kenya’s top-tier league.The acquisitions had an instant impact on the squad. Owino slotted into midfield effortlessly and is now a starter, while Abdallah, Oalo, Barasa, and Mazembe all have minutes under their belt. Only Kubasu, arguably the youngest player in the squad, has yet to don the City Stars colors.The tactician appreciates the impact the new acquisitions have had on the team and says that they have made his outfit formidable.FKFPL: Week 32 takeaways”I am happy about the players who came in and those who joined in the second leg; they have made us a very formidable force, and you can see the progress that we have made through the results that we are registering,” he opined.Before Saturday’s loss to Nzoia Sugar, City Stars were on a seven-match unbeaten run, and Muyoti says the hard work that they have been putting in is paying off.”The boys have grown up to now, the work we have been doing is paying off, and you can see in the second leg we have been doing so well,” he said.Next for the City Stars is an away game against Talanta on Thursday.Twahir uninterested in head coach’s role at Bandari, grateful for fine run since appointment
