Firat reads riot act to Harambee Stars players ahead of Ivory Coast encounter
Firat has made it clear on what Harambee Stars must do to get a good result against Ivory Coast following their 1-1 draw with Burundi on Friday.
Odhiambo was in the spotlight last year following impressive performances with his former side Tusker FC in the FKF Premier League, which drew the attention of Vasteras SK leading to an invitation for trials.
"I had a fantastic start with Vasteras. The trial initially was set for one and a half weeks, but the coach was impressed and extended it," Odhiambo revealed in an interview with Sports Eye.
"Unfortunately, after a center back was injured and couldn't finish the season, they needed to fill that specific slot, which limited my opportunities. Despite this, the coaches have kept in touch, which is encouraging," he added.

The dynamic defender then had a stint with another Swedish club, Vasalund IF, where circumstances were less than ideal for a permanent move.
"Moving to Vasalund was quite sudden. I hadn't completed my stint with Västerås when I joined them. My time at Vasalund was great; I had already adapted to Sweden, and being with my friends Frank Odhiambo and Anto made it even better. They were a big support. However, Vasalund wasn't prepared to sign me immediately since I joined them unexpectedly, but we've stayed in contact to see what the future holds," Odhiambo explained.
Despite these overseas endeavors, Odhiambo's career continued to evolve back in Kenya.
