Saleh impressed with Luanda Villa's effort in NSL

National Super League side Luanda Villa coach Saleh Leonard has said that his goal to lead the Mumboha based club to a top six finish is still valid.

According to Saleh, finishing strong the league will go along to bring the expected results this season as Luanda Villa is preparing to play Migori Youth FC this Sunday.

“Collecting maximum points at Migori will give us hope to finish among the top six teams despite sitting in the tenth position now,” Saleh stated as his side remains with Vihiga United FC and Darajani Gogo FC fixtures to end this season’s league.

Last year Luanda Villa who currently have 42 points in the tenth position finished the season at position eight with 52 points.

“You cannot compare last season to this season. Luanda Villa played 19 matches last season yet this year we will be playing 18 games after two teams we had already beaten left the league, Muhoroni Youth and Dimba Patriots,” Saleh defended his record at Mumboha.

“In fact, we have surprised many who imagined that Luanda Villa would be battling to evade the relegation axe this season after the mass exodus of key players,” he stated, revealing that the harmony between the management and the playing unit plus Luanda villa’s strong fan base has helped a big deal keep the club afloat in the league.

The former KCB tactician has expressed optimism in the ability of his team to finish the league stronger than ever before even though Luanda Villa is not in the title race this year.
