The reasons why Aldrine Kibet looks up to Michael Olunga.
Al Duhail will camp in Austria until August 1 before heading back to Qatar where they will begin their season with a math against Qatar SC in the first round of the Ooredoo Stars League at the Khalifa Stadium on August 10.
Al Duhail did not have a fruitful 2023-24 campaign as they endured a trophyless season and finished sixth in the league, failing to defend their title.
Olunga will be hoping for some good tidings in the upcoming season with Al Duhail keen to regain their place at the top.
