Harambee Stars and Zesco United striker Jesse Were has credited his youth coach Glyde Aswani for his career development.
The Zesco United all-time top scorer said had it not been for Aswani's intervention in 2011, he would have considered leaving the football scene forever. The coach's advice saved Were's career came after the Kibera-born star failed to impress during his trials with Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side KCB nine years ago.
“He [Aswani] has made me from scratch having coached me at U12 and U14 categories. He instilled a good mentality in our teams by letting us know that we should always play to win,” Were told Standard Sports as he praised the tactician.
