FKFPL: Benson Omala's fruitless golden boot chase last season leaves Bidco's Samwel Ndung'u hopeful
Ndung’u has scored one goal in five appearances for Bidco this season, but still believes he can win the FKFPL Golden Boot award.
Romano reports that the deal should be completed on Friday and then an announcement of his appointment should follow.
Talks to make the former Nice and Lille manager the new boss of the Qatari club entered final stages on Tuesday and Galtier has now traveled to the Middle East ahead of starting his new job.
Aside from working with Galtier, Olunga is already working with former Liverpool and Barcelona star Philipe Coutinho after the Brazilian joined the club from Aston Villa in September.
Galtier was approached to become the new manager of Marseille before they appointed Genarro Gatusso but turned down the approach to take charge of PSG’s bitter rivals.
