Will Bandari become the second Coastal club to win the country’s Premier League after Feisal FC?

This is the million-dollar question Coast football fans are pondering since the club’s impressive run last year, where they managed to win the GOtv Shield Cup and finished in fourth place in the Premier League.

Coast fans are hopeful that the club will live up to their expectations this time round.

Bandari head coach, Twahir Muhiddin, who has made some big name signings in the just-concluded transfer window, believes his side has all it takes to become the 2016 KPL champions.

“All the 27 players we’ve registered for the season 2016 are good,” the soft-spoken Muhiddin told Saturday Nation Sport.

“With such a squad, which is a blend of youth and experience, we can do wonders this season.”

The experienced tactician believes that they can achieve what many other clubs from the region have failed to since 1965 when Feisal became the first and the only team from the Coast to clinch the National League (now Kenyan Premier League).
