He admitted that coaching the club of AFC Leopard’s caliber comes with a lot of pressure.
“I like that feeling because it is a challenge for me. I like to be on the field ,I love these games . Many coaches would love to be in this situation, and I am happy to be here. It is a privilege and a big honor to be part of this club. I want to give the best with my players to succeed,” he noted.
Trucha at the same time hailed the club’s ever present and supportive fans.
“It is evident from the numbers in the stadium, we have the best attended matches and the best fans in the country.
