Nairobi — Having played as defensive partners together for four years at the national team Harambee Stars, newly appointed Kenya Police FC coach Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo hopes his new partnership with Musa Otieno as assistant coach will yield the same success they enjoyed on the pitch in their playing days.

Omollo was named new Police coach after the club fored John Bobby Ogolla following a string of poor results.

“We used to joke that one day when we get to work together with a team, it would be one of the most successful teams. Now it has come to pass and I am very excited,” Omollo told Capital Sport.

He added; “Musa is a person that I have known for so long and I know what he is capable of. He has worked outside the country and the knowledge he has is immense. I am really happy to be working with him and I hope that we can enjoy so much success together as a unit.”

Omollo’s previous working post was an assistant coach at Gor Mahia FC having joined the record Kenyan champions following his departure from Posta Rangers.

Musa has not been coaching in the top flight but has been working with his organization Kick off to Hope where he has an Academy across all youth levels. He also recently graduated with a CAF B licence.

The two are expected to turn around the fortunes at Police, the club having failed to sparkle despite marquee signings that landed at the club both at the start of the season and in January.

“I am really excited to be coming here and I was welcomed really well. In all Premier League clubs I have coached, I have never received such a warm welcome anywhere,” said Omollo.
