Migori Youth chairman Aziz Abdi has petitioned the newly elected county boss to extend a helping hand to the club in order to realize their dream of promotion to the top tier.Abdi highlighted lack of sufficient funds as the reason behind the unsuccessful march to the top league and asked the new office bearer in Ochilo Ayako to help them financially.The administrator who confirmed that former Gor Mahia and Sony Sugar midfielder Kelvin Oluoch will handle the team going forward said the team stands a good chance of getting promoted should their financial muscle swell up.##NAJAVA_MECA_6651280##Migori, promoted Oluoch to the rank of head coach following the exit of Marwa Chamberi who joined Tanzanian Premier League side Prisons. Oluoch, who retired from active football in 2018 served as Chamberi’s assistant.”I appeal to the newly-elected governor to help us financially. We have been assembling good players but ensuring that they are motivated throughout the season has been a challenge. We have also been losing our good players to better paying teams, and thus, making it difficult to sustain a meaningful hunt for automatic promotion. Honouring matches in the second tier is also very expensive,” he said.Meanwhile, Bandari team manager Albert Ogari has lifted the lid on why the team made changes in the leadership of the playing unit. Migori Youth confirm celebrated ex international Kevin ‘Stopper’ Oluoch as new head coachBandari handed the captain’s armband to Michael Wanyika with Andrew Juma and Abdallah Hassan being named as the first and second assistants respectively.Wanyika succeeded Bernard Odhiambo who had been acting as the club skipper since January 2020.”We felt it was good to have a crop of new leaders in the team, an idea that was also supported by the players. The new leaders were endorsed by both the management and the playing unit,” he said.
