We wanted someone capable of leading both on and off the pitch, and we are confident he’s the man for the job. As a leader, he’ll inspire his teammates to give their all for the badge.”
Senaji’s appointment comes at a crucial time as the club prepares for yet another demanding season. His defensive prowess, coupled with his composure and tactical awareness, will be vital as Nyasa Big Bullets seek to win the league and make a mark in continental competitions.
