Ambani urges for calm as Leopards grapples with a string of poor

AFC Leopards head coach Fred Ambani has urged the club's fans to exercise patience as the club endures a torrid run in the Kenyan Premier League.

Ambani said they are burning the midnight oil to put their house in order even as the club is poised to endure another season without a major silverware.

The current season has been a tumultuous journey, one that has tested the limits of patience and loyalty of the ardent fans.

Ambani implored the fans to remain steadfast in their support as the team grapples with a disappointing run in the league. Positioned seventh on the league table, AFC Leopards finds itself in a precarious situation.

The dreams of lifting the KPL title have dissipated, leaving fans to grapple with the harsh reality of another season without silverware.

A further source of disappointment is the team's elimination from the FKF Cup, which puts an end to any hopes of playing internationally the following season. The once vibrant dreams of glory have been replaced by a sobering acknowledgement of the work that lies ahead.

Ambani's comments highlight the urgency of the situation. "We are burning the midnight oil to put our house in order," he stated, reflecting the dedication of the coaching staff and players.

"This commitment is essential, as the team seeks to navigate the stormy waters of a challenging season. However, the path to redemption is seldom straightforward, especially in a league where competition is fierce and the stakes are high. So, we must be patient," Ambani said.

" The expectations of the fans are monumental, and when the team falters, the disappointment reverberates throughout the community. We understand that the fans' passion is rooted in love for the club. An enduring loyalty is crucial during times of adversity," he added.

As the club prepares for elections, the atmosphere becomes charged with anticipation. Campaigns are already in full swing, and the future leadership will play a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of AFC Leopards.

" The new administration will face the daunting task of revitalising the club, not only on the pitch but also in the hearts of its supporters.

"It is essential that the incoming leadership understands the importance of fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and unity," he added.

Ambani said the upcoming elections present an opportunity for AFC Leopards to reassess their strategies, to innovate, and to build a sustainable future.

"The club must prioritise the development of young talent, invest in training facilities, and strengthen the community outreach programmes. By doing so, it can cultivate a new generation of players who embody the spirit of AFC Leopards, ensuring that the legacy of the club endures for years to come," he added.
