Zoo FC owner Ken Ochieng has explained why the 2018-19 season has been tough for them.
Ochieng stated that the difficulty has been primarily contributed by the shortness of the current season which started almost after the last one concluded.
Another factor is the loss of senior players to their Kenyan Premier League (KPL) rivals. Mike Madoya and Nicholas Kipkirui are the notable players who left the team to join Tusker and Gor Mahia respectively.
Isaac Kipyegon left to join AFC Leopards. The three players were key figures in Zoo’s maiden season in the top-flight and Ochieng believes that their departures contributed to the difficulties they were facing.
