AFC Leopards started their 2024/25 season thrashing league returnees Mathare United 4-0 in the league opener played at Dandora stadium. The fortunes later changed as we only won one of the other matches , losing 3 and drawing 2. AFC Leopards sits fourth on the FKF-PL table with 11 points ,6 points adrift of the league leaders. Head coach Trucha shared this with the club media :
It has been a tough run over the last few matches with just one win in the last five matches. What has been the reason for this run?
“We are working towards avoiding unnecessary mistakes. If you look at our previous matches we have been conceding of our own mistakes. As a team we should also work on our scoring , we have been creating a lot of chances but unfortunately not scoring many goals. For us to consistently win we should be sharp in front of the goal and use our chances.”
About being the head coach of AFC Leopards, especially with constant pressure from fans Trucha had this to say :
“Coaching these clubs comes with a lot of pressure . I like that feeling because it is a challenge for me. I like to be on the field ,I love these games . Many coaches would love to be in this situation, and I am happy to be here. It is a privilege and a big honor to be part of this club. I want to give the best with my players to succeed.”
