The coach was quick to heap praise on the quality of some of Kenya's players, such as captain Michael Olunga and keeper Bryne Omondi.
He has since earned five caps for the country and has had a 2023 to remember as he established himself as KCB’s first-choice goalkeeper since displacing Gabriel Andika.
Omondi is known for his completeness. He can come for areal balls easily, underpinning his ability to command his area well, is calm and composed on the ball with excellent distribution, and is an excellent shot-stopper.
