August 19, 2019 - Tusker FC is gearing up for a fierce battle for the Kenyan Premier League title this season, with the signing of experienced duo George Odhiambo and Humphrey Mieno.
Despite largely signing inexperienced players during the transfer window, the 11-time KPL champions' head coach Robert Matano is confident that his team has what it takes to win the league this term.
"The team is stronger and better than last season, we have players who will make a difference and I am hopeful we will grind out positive results," Matano told Citizen Digital.
Matano believes that the team still has enough time to prepare and will be ready by the time the league kicks off. The team is set to face league defending champions Gor Mahia in their opening game of the 2019/20 campaign.
Mieno is expected to join the team this week after he sustained a knock during training and was left out of the squad which travelled to Tanzania for the pre-season tour.
