Kenya: Tusker FC targets five titles
Nairobi, Kenya (PANA) - Kenyan Premier League champions Tusker FC will seek five titles during the 2017 season, new Head Coach George Nsimbe has said.
Ugandan Nsimbe, who joined Tusker ahead of the kick-off of the 2017 season, also says he believes the brewers have what it takes to make it to the group stages of the CAF Champions League.
Tusker, sponsored by the Kenya Breweries Limited, fly the Kenyan flag at the 2017 CAF Champions League.
In the local football scene they boast of the Kenyan Premier League, Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) Club Championships, GOtv Shield and Kenyan Premier League Top 8 titles they won in 2016.
Eyeing the Champions League brings to five the number crowns the brewers are targeting this season.
“I am happy with what I have seen so far, during our preparations for the new season. The new players are fitting in well,” he was quoted on Thursday as saying during the unveiling of new players at the brewers' stadium in Ruaraka, Nairobi.
Nsimbe, took over from fellow Ugandan Paul Nkata who joined Mombasa-based Kenyan Premier League side, Bandari FC.
The brewers have signed nine new players, including three imports from the East African region - midfielders Moses Ndawula (Lweza FC-Uganda) and Tanzanian Abdul Hillary (African Lyon-Tanzania) and defender Marlon Tangauzi from Uganda Saints FC.
Fifty-year-old Nsimbe joins Tusker FC from Vipers SC of Uganda, bringing on board vast experience in continental football having led both Azam FC (Tanzania) and Kampala City County Authority (KCCA) of Uganda to the CAF Champions League group stage.
