Posta Rangers head coach Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omollo says he will offload players aged 30 years and above as they prepare for the 2025/2026 league season.

Omollo says age factor was one of the reasons the team did not perform well in the ended season.

 ‘’I will first of all work on reducing the age limit. Last season, I had six players above 30 years old and this did not work well for us. I will trim out players above 30 years,’’ stated Omollo.

According to Omollo, players over 30 were seen to tire in the second half of most matches, reducing the mailmen’s momentum. The towering coach says his current squad must be youthful to ensure their performance improves.

 He added that: ‘’My main striker Felix Oluoch is joining Zimbabwean side Scotland FC. He was our main striker, meaning we have to look for youthful goal poachers ahead of next season.”

Rangers, like any other top-tier team, are on break to pave the way for the CHAN competition in August to be hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.

At the same time Omollo is hopeful that the new FKF office will bring on board a League title sponsor even as the club also scouts for a shirt sponsor to help address their financial constraints.

 ‘’Our financial muscle was weak last season and that is one other challenge we had. We hope Federation will bring on board a title sponsor. In addition, it would be healthy for us if we also get our shirt sponsor.’’

Posta Rangers survived relegation from the top tier league after beating National Super League side Naivas 2-1 aggregate in a two-legged relegation / promotion playoff.
