‘I am deeply grateful to everyone’

“Together, we celebrated two league titles, overcame countless challenges, and built memories that will remain with me for a lifetime.

“From serving as an assistant coach to leading the Youth Team and eventually stepping up to the senior team, it has been a journey of growth, resilience, and immense learning.

“While not every chapter unfolded exactly as planned, that is the nature of both football and life: a blend of triumphs and trials. I choose to carry forward the victories, the lessons, and the invaluable experiences.”

“I wish the club nothing but continued success for the remainder of the season and beyond. Tusker FC will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will forever remain a supporter, even from the outside. God bless you all. God bless Tusker FC.”
