Luanda Villa head coach Tom Tera has urged club supporters and well-wishers to come to the aid of the club, saying the financial struggles have become dire.The Mumboha-based club is without a sponsor and has had to rely on well-wishers and fans to honor matches in Kenya’s second tier.##NAJAVA_MECA_7863133##The situation appears to be worsening. Tera, an ex-Kenyan international, has lifted the lid on the situation, stating that the players are now surviving on one meal a day, with salaries and allowances being things the players can only wish for.”My players at the clubhouse survive on one meal a day. Our fans should visit them at the clubhouse to help. This way, we can expect maximum output on the ground,” he told Citizen Digital.The tactician believes that with a little help, the team will be able to perform well in the remaining matches of the campaign, with the goal now being to retain their NSL status.“Migori Youth’s victory slid past us when we only managed a 1-1 draw at home. But when a well-wisher turned up to cater for all expenses of our Saturday match, it is obvious that my players showcased a good performance on the pitch,” he added.The financial struggles have seen Villa lose a number of key players during the mid-season window. When asked how much of a blow the departures were, the tactician was quick to dismiss the notion that they are missing the departed players.”Their leaving was a blessing in disguise. We have been able to identify the areas where we were weak and strengthen them with the new signings we made, who have quickly adopted my style of play. I am confident that I have a great team; it’s just that the players lack motivation,” he added.Villa will make a short trip to Kisumu to play Kisumu All-Stars on Saturday.AFC Leopards coach explains trio’s absence
