Police FC coach Abdul Salim turns down offer from Tanzania

He says he is relishing being part of the Police FC team that will participate in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup following last weekend's FKF Cup triumph.

Salim boasts a wealth of experience in coaching goalkeepers, having worked with some of the most prominent football clubs in Kenya and abroad and it’s not surprising to see him being hunted by other teams as he has also trained goalkeepers at Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards , Simba SC in Tanzania.

"It is true that Singinda have proposed a contract for me to join them for next season in the Tanzanian Premier League, but due to unavoidable circumstances I have declined their offer through an official letter, at least for the time being." Abdul confessed.

He has also had successful coaching stints with various international teams, including the Yemen National Team, Sheikh Russell in Bangladesh, and MFK Topolcany in Slovakia but has clearly stated that after Police qualified for the CAF Confederation cup, he relishes this journey.

"I still have some unfinished business with Kenya Police FC after winning the FKF Cup where we got a ticket to participate in continental football. I think this is a very good opportunity to add weight to my CV and also continue to walk with police FC on this new journey. I know I can't remain with Kenya Police FC forever, but the time will come and when it comes, everything will be fine for all parties concerned," he added.

His ability to adapt his coaching methods to different playing styles and cultures showcases his versatility as a goalkeeping coach, something that helped Police fc achieve their goal this season.

With his impressive track record and the outstanding performance of Kenya Police FC’s goalkeepers under his tutelage, Abdul Siddi Salim undoubtedly stands out as one of the best goalkeepers trainers in Kenya.

The current form and achievements of the goalkeepers at Kenya Police FC are a testament to Salim’s exceptional coaching abilities and dedication to nurturing talent.
