Thirteen-time Kenyan Premier League champions Tusker FC have endured a horrid start to the season, with back to back losses against KCB FC and Posta Rangers FC. This has left a massive wave of pressure on head coach Charles Okere, coming after the team finished in their worst position since 2019 last season, when they were fourth.
Pressure is now mounting on Okere, who is in his second season at the club, as the two defeats have left the club bottom of the league.
However, speaking to Telecomasia.net, the tactician believes that he will turn things around, and believes the team has great potential to lift off the horrid start.
It hasn’t been a good start honestly and we can’t escape from the fact that there is pressure mounting. But football is a game of pressure, even when you are winning, there is pressure to maintain the run. We acknowledge that there are some areas that are not working for us and we will strive to improve. We have conceded four goals in two matches which is not a Tusker standard and offensively as well, we have only scored once despite creating numerous scoring opportunities in both games. We have addressed an improvement all round and I remain confident that we can turn this around.
Tusker have two tough fixtures coming up before the international break, as they welcome Mathare United in midweek, and the high-flying Shabana FC over the weekend.
