Mathare United coach Salim Ali suggested the 2008 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions had a rough first round in the current campaign owing to changes the team was going through.
The 'Slum Boys' started the 2019/20 season badly, struggling to get consistent results, but it changed and by the time the league was suspended owing to the coronavirus outbreak, they had managed to move up to the eighth position with 33 points from 22 matches.
The tactician has explained why it was not easy for his team to start the season on a high.
