FOOTBALL Salim Babu to lead Kenya U20 in Malawi invitational tournament
Babu, who coached Kenya U18 to the final of the 2023 CECAFA U18 Boys' championship, will lead the U20 side in Malawi.
“We rotated the squad because we felt players like Rashid Mchelenga had been training well. Tito Okello has been through a little dry spell, but it was generally difficult for the team on the day, so we struggled.
Addressing the performance of David ‘Messi’ Owino, who returned to the club from Taiwan after they failed to give him his blessing to trial with Tainan City, Owino said, "He has tried. We changed his position. The team has generally not played well, but I am optimistic everyone will return to full fitness."
Babu's optimism suggests a belief in the team's potential to bounce back and regain full form.
