STARS ABROAD: Richard Odada’s strikes nominated for Aalborg’s September goal of the month award
Harambee Stars midfielder Richard Odada’s three goals are among those up for September award at his Danish club Aalborg
Despite his impressive record of 34 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses in 48 matches, a lackluster start in the international cup ultimately led to his abrupt departure. Interestingly, Crespo is now being considered by Racing, a club that had expressed interest in him even before the arrival of Fernando Gago.
Crespo's departure marks a significant turning point for Al-Duhail, a club that had enjoyed a remarkable run under his leadership. With three titles to their name and a fourth-place ranking in the local tournament, the decision to part ways with him was unanticipated but emphasizes the club's determination to strive for excellence.
