Former Harambee Stars captain Dennis Oliech has marked the end of his football career with a grand gesture – building a stunning retirement home in Kisumu, his ancestral home.
According to Oliech, who shared the news on Instagram, he has finally done his part and it's time to rest. 'Kisumu now I can rest have done my part to build my resting place,' he captioned the post.
It's been a few months since Oliech hung up his football boots, retiring from the sport in January after failing to secure a move to any Kenyan Premier League club. In an interview with Nation Sport at the time, he stated, 'I have officially retired from playing football and will venture into business. I had stated when I left Gor Mahia that I would bounce back by joining Wazito or Bandari, but nothing is forthcoming and that is why I have not seen any need to continue. I have retired both at international and at club level.'
