KK United readies preparation for NPFL debut

Newly-promoted Namibian Premier Football League (NPFL) side KK United say they will retain the core squad that secured promotion to the league, while making a handful of strategic additions ahead of their historic debut season.

During an interview with Desert Radio yesterday, KK United general manager Issai Saidi said preparations for the club’s maiden NPFL campaign began immediately after the conclusion of the North East First Division season.

The club made history in May by becoming the first team from the Kavango West region to gain promotion to Namibia’s premier football competition.

Saidi also clarified reports surrounding the club’s technical team, saying former Okahandja United coach Richard Gariseb was appointed as assistant coach on the recommendation of head coach Marcelo Wakudumo, who has already been appointed.
