Tusker head coach Robert Matano is convinced his squad is now ripe enough to charge for a 13th overall title after surrendering the silverware to multiple champions Gor Mahia last season.
Matano expressed confidence in the squad while accrediting their improved fortunes to their new acquisitions.
“We are in a much better position now after a challenging start to the season. My players, including the new additions like Joseph Mwangi, James Kibande, Fabian Adikinyi, and John Byamukama have been crucial to our turnaround,” Matano remarked.
“The team’s performances have improved, and they have played a significant role in our recent performances. While there is still work to be done, I have full faith in my squad and the positive atmosphere around me. As we head into the second half of the season, my hopes are high,” Matano added.
“I’m satisfied with what we have accomplished in the recent weeks and I believe we are now back to where we belong, which is within the title contention bracket,” he added.
Matano expressed hope they would extend the good run in their subsequent encounters.
Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) managing director, Mark Ocitti, has called on Tusker FC players to step on the gas peddle as they extend the battle to other opponents.
“We are delighted with the team’s recent performances. The eight-match unbeaten streak reflects the players’ resilience and commitment to turn around the season,” Ocitti said.
“Despite a challenging start to the season, we are now in a better position, currently holding the third spot in the standings with a lot to play for ahead. We believe the team has a genuine chance of clinching our 13th league title.”
He said they are fully committed to supporting the club in their quest to remain atop the Kenyan football terrain.
