Former Kibera Black Stars coach Godfrey “Solo” Oduor is delighted to have been appointed head coach of the SportPesa Premier League outfit Nzoia Sugar.
Oduor penned a three-year deal with the Bungoma-based side, but watched their 3-2 defeat to Mathare United at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani on Wednesday from the stands.
“I have to thank God for this opportunity,” an elated Oduor – who replaced Nicholas Muyoti- told Nation Sport in a one-on-one interview.
Muyoti ditched the side for Kakamega Homeboyz in February.
“I look forward to a successful outing in the Premier League, it’s a dream of any upcoming coach to handle a top-flight side and this is my platform that comes with a new challenge.
I am happy and thank the club management for entrusting me with the job,” he added.
Oduor, who also serves as the Kenya national Under-17 team assistant coach, said he will work on few weaknesses he noticed during the defeat to Mathare.
“Nzoia is a good side with young players, who given proper training, can work as a team to win games.
“Of course there’s pressure to deliver in any work place, but I believe the experience I picked from the second tier will be an added advantage here,” he concluded.
The millers are 11th on the log with 28 points from 23 matches.
