Since then, they have come close on two occasions, finishing third in the Mozzart Bet Cup last season and securing bronze the year before after defeating Ulinzi Stars.Speaking on the sidelines of the Nairobi Fight Night on Wednesday, Imbenzi acknowledged the club’s prolonged trophy drought and reiterated their commitment to rewarding the loyal blue and white supporters.##NAJAVA_MECA_8684136##“The club is making important but quiet moves in the transfer market. We all feel the pain of not winning trophies, but once the window closes, our fans will be excited,” he told Mozzart Sport. The Leopards had a sluggish start to the season, which led to the dismissal of former coach Tomas Trucha. His exit paved the way for Fred Ambani, a former Kenya Premier League title winner with Ingwe, to take charge.Shabana midfielder impressed with bit part role in club’s impressive runUnder Ambani’s leadership, the team has shown improvement, although consistency remains a challenge.
