AFC Leopards head coach Thomas Trucha has promised the club fans that they will be winning their coming games.
The sentiments come days before they face their arch-rivals Gor Mahia in the first Mashemeji Derby this season having had a torrid outing in recent games.

With just one win in the last five games, Trucha told the club’s media team that they have been playing well but have not been ruthless in front of goal.
“We are working towards avoiding unnecessary mistakes. If you look at our previous matches we have been conceding of our own mistakes. As a team, we should also work on our scoring. We have been creating a lot of chances but unfortunately not scoring many goals. For us to consistently win we should be sharp in front of the goal and use our chances,” he said.
With Gor Mahia already firing their head coach Lucas Neiva for a spate of poor results, Trucha has been under pressure but he insists that the pressure only keeps him on his toes at the club.
“Coaching these clubs comes with a lot of pressure. I like that feeling because it is a challenge for me. I like to be on the field, I love these games. Many coaches would love to be in this situation, and I am happy to be here. It is a privilege and a big honour to be part of this club. I want to give the best with my players to succeed,” he added.
Trucha further appreciated the fans’ support and promised that it was their time to deliver for them on the pitch.
“It is evident from the numbers in the stadium, we have the best-attended matches and the best fans in the country. Our fans turn up for our matches in numbers and have been supporting us all through. Please come again in numbers, let us fill the stadium. As our fans, you are doing an amazing job, and it is our turn to go for the maximum points in our matches,” he concluded.
Leopards started their season with a win over Mathare United but have only won one of the other matches, losing three and drawing two; an outing that leaves them sitting fourth on the table with eleven points.
