CAF Confederation Cup: Kenya Police boss Anthony 'Modo' Kimani reveals how they can beat Ethiopian Coffee
Police were held to a 0-0 draw by Ethiopian Coffee at the Nyayo National Stadium last weekend but Kimani has revealed how they can still proceed to the next leg against Zamalek.
Ochuka aims at borrowing a leaf from the side’s former custodians such as Patrick Matasi, Brian Bwire and Duncan Ochieng, who is now his goalkeeping coach in order to improve.
“When I started my career, Tusker FC boasted some of the finest goalkeepers in the country, such as Boni Oluoch, Wilson Oburu, Dunco Ochieng, Victor Onyango, and more recently, Patrick Matasi and Brian Bwire. This club has always had top-notch goalkeepers.
“It’s a significant challenge for me to emulate their success. My primary goal here is to win trophies and earn personal accolades while establishing myself as one of the club’s historic keepers,” Ochuka said in an interview with the club’s website.
Ochuka is an experienced goalkeeper, also having played for other topflight clubs like KCB and Kariobangi Sharks, and will be hoping to impress at Tusker if he is to achieve his objectives.

Ingwe have unveiled four players as they seek to end their 26-year-wait for the FKFPL title.
“The experience has been excellent so far. Settling in has been smooth because many of the players are personal friends, so I haven’t felt like an outsider. I’ve learned a great deal and made significant progress, thanks to the coaching staff and the high training tempo,” he added.
Hoping to stamp authority in the Tusker team, Ochuka will have to fight for starting berths against Brian Opondo and Edwin Simiyu.
“Both Brian and Edwin are exceptional goalkeepers. Having three top keepers in the squad ensures a competitive environment.
“We motivate each other in training, and whoever gets the chance to start knows they must perform at their best because the others are ready to step in,” he continued.
