After sealing qualification for the FKF Premier League, Mara Sugar head coach Benedict Wanjala is now targeting the National Super League (NSL) title.
“We are not celebrating yet. We have three more games. Our target is to win the games and lift the NSL trophy. Those games are like finals to us,” said Wanjala.
Mara Sugar will next weekend visit Kibera Black Stars. The other games will be against second-placed Mathare United and fourth-placed Nairobi United.
“I want to thank God, my technical bench, the players and the management of Mara Sugar Company for the support throughout the season. It has been a very challenging period,” added the tactician.
The tactician attributed the team’s qualification to the top-tier league to teamwork, unity, dedication, hard work, and discipline.
“When I took charge in January, I sat down with the players and set our targets. We have had a superb campaign and I’m happy with the team,” he said.
Wanjala joined Mara Sugar in January after the unceremonious departure of Vincent Nyaberi who dumped the cane millers for Mully Children’s Family (MCF).
Nyaberi, who led Murang’a Seal to the FKF Premier League, was in charge of the team for only three games after taking over from Francis Xavier.
Technical director, Boniface Ambani dedicated the qualification to the team manager Thomas Odhiambo who died a month ago. He was found dead in his house.
