Etienne Ndayiragije Itching to Turn Around Kenya Police FC Fortunes
Burundian coach Etienne Ndayiragije is ready to reverse the poor performance of Kenya Police FC and bring them back into title contention in the FKF Premier League.
Addressing a Tough Season Start
Kenya Police FC is currently languishing at the bottom of the FKF Premier League table, garnering just eight points from eight matches. This dismal start reflects a far cry from last season’s title challenge, where the team came close to dethroning Gor Mahia and won the domestic FKF Cup. With only one win—a 2-0 triumph against Mathare United—Ndayiragije faces the daunting task of revitalizing a squad that has drawn six times and lost two, including a recent setback against AFC Leopards.
Strategies for a Turnaround
To tackle this challenge, Ndayiragije emphasizes a strategic approach to rebuilding the team’s confidence and performance. “I am very desperate to get going. I have the hunger to see the team start performing well,” he stated. Drawing upon his past experiences with struggling teams, he believes the quality in the Kenya Police squad can be harnessed to turn the season around.
He explained, “We can still turn things around and compete for the title. The league is a marathon, and we still have more matches to play.” He is determined to implement a style of play that reflects his strategic vision but withheld specifics, urging fans to support the process and judge based on future performances.
Keys to Success: Familiar Faces
Ndayiragije will also rely on experienced players like Francis Kahata and Kenneth Muguna, whom he coached previously. “They are skilled players and I know they will help stabilize the team,” Ndayiragije remarked. Their familiarity with his coaching style and proven track records in the league will be instrumental in the upcoming matches, which include critical fixtures against Nairobi City Stars and champions Gor Mahia.
Conclusion: A Call for Support
As Kenya Police FC embarks on this pivotal journey under Ndayiragije’s leadership, the message to fans is clear: stay patient and supportive. The coach’s hunger for success and familiarity with key players sets a promising foundation for a comeback. The team’s next ousting on the pitch will be telling—stay tuned as they aim to rise from the bottom of the table.
