Xavier explains why Kisumu All-Stars struggle in KPL

Former Wazito FC Team Manager Francis Xavier has explained why Kisumu All-Stars are struggling in their maiden Kenyan Premier League (KPL) participation.

Kisumu All-Stars finished second in the 2018/19 National Super League (NSL) season behind Wazito but have found their journey in the top-flight very hard as they lie 16th on the log with two wins and just eight points after 19 games.

They are, in fact, just two points above bottom-placed Chemelil Sugar.

“I think Kisumu All-Stars were ill-prepared for KPL because I followed them in pre-season and I observed they did not beef up their squad with players who could mount a meaningful challenge in the top-flight,” Xavier told Goal.
