Okoth has appeared to hint that Shabana officials are keeping him in charge of the club against his will.
But the second half, according to Akhulia, left room for improvement.
“When you win matches you get satisfaction from winning but I don't think we played well in the second half. We were really on the back foot. Yet, the win was paramount, and securing our goals early made us comfortable,” reflected Akhulia in an interview with Pulse Sports.
The narrative of Bidco United is as intriguing as its performance on the field. With Akhulia at the helm, it is a tale of a former player turned coach, whose passion and dedication for the club have been unwavering.
