Nairobi United have pulled off a statement signing, landing Harambee Stars striker Benson Omalla, the lethal marksman who claimed the 2023–24 KPL Golden Boot with 19 goals. The arrival of Omalla instantly raises the club’s ceiling and injects a fresh dose of firepower into the Naibois’ frontline.
A Proven Goal Machine
Omalla arrives in Nairobi with a reputation for clinical finishing and a knack for turning tight chances into match‑winning moments. Brought in to spearhead the attack, he gives the Naibois a proven predator in the box and a player capable of changing games on his own.
A Tactical Architect Joins the Fold
The club didn’t stop at signing a striker. Godfrey Oduor Otieno, a CAF A license coach fresh from a successful spell with South Sudanese champions Jamus FC, has been appointed Head Coach. Oduor’s résumé includes stints at KCB FC, Nzoia FC, and roles with Kenya’s national youth and women’s teams, bringing tactical savvy and player development know‑how to the dugout.
Continental Curtain Raiser
The new pairing faces an immediate baptism of fire this Sunday at 4:00 PM at Nyayo National Stadium, when Nairobi United host Tanzania’s Azam FC in the CAF Confederation Cup. With continental stakes and home support roaring, the stage is set for a dramatic debut and a chance for Omalla and Oduor to make an instant impression.
What This Means for the Naibois
This double announcement is more than two additions; it’s a declaration of intent. Omalla’s goal threat combined with Oduor’s tactical direction gives Nairobi United a potent blend of finishing and structure. As the club prepares for a pivotal continental clash, fans will be watching to see whether this bold pairing can spark a new era of ambition and results.
