On Sunday, 24 February 2019, Gor Mahia captain Kenneth Muguna led his team against Nasr Athletic Hussein Dey from Algeria in a CAF Confederation Cup group D match at Kasarani Stadium.
As the newly appointed captain, Muguna feels that the increased responsibility of wearing the armband will not affect his performance on the pitch in the upcoming 2019/2020 Kenyan Premier League season.
Speaking ahead of the KPL Super Cup tie against Bandari at Kenyatta Stadium, Machakos, Muguna said, 'Of course this armband comes with a lot of expectations, but for me I feel no pressure. In fact, it is the opposite. I’m really motivated and ready to contribute more to the team through this position.'
Muguna has been tasked with leading his team to victory, especially after losing key players like Harun Shakava, Jacques Tuyisenge, and Francis Kahata in the recent transfer window.
He has challenged the new signings to show character, starting with today’s match against Bandari.
‘It is still too early to talk about the new season, but after making many signings we know most teams are plotting on how to stop us from winning the title for the fourth season in a row. But that cannot stop us from achieving our target,' Muguna said.
