Published on September 12, 2019, Migori Youth, a National Super League side, is gearing up for a crucial match against Coast Stima.
The team has had a disappointing start to the season, losing their opening two fixtures to Vihiga United and Bidco United.
However, with the appointment of a new technical bench, led by former Homa Bay All Stars tactician Robert Ojienda, the team is hoping to turn their fortunes around.
"We are still trying to ensure our young players gel, but we played well in the first two matches, conceding cheap goals due to inexperience at the back," Ojienda said in an interview with Nation Sport on Thursday.
"Our vision as a team is to nurture and expose young talent from Migori, and we are not afraid to give the kids a chance. We have worked hard in training this week and I am optimistic we will get a positive result against Coast Stima," he added.
Coast Stima will be the team's first test under the new leadership, and Ojienda is aware of the pressure to perform.
"It feels great to join the team, and it's a dream come true for me as a young coach. Of course, it comes with pressure to perform, but we have to be patient and build the team, step by step," he said.
The match is one of 10 scheduled for Friday afternoon, with several other teams vying for victory in the National Super League.
