KEN Gold FC interim coach Jumanne Challe has reassured fans, acknowledging the team's current struggles in the Premier League but expressing confidence that they will overcome their tough patch.

The team is enduring a difficult period, having suffered four consecutive league defeats, the latest being a 2-0 loss to Kagera Sugar last Friday.

Challe took over as interim coach following the resignation of former head coach Fikiri Elias, who stepped down due to the team's poor form. 

While their recent performances have raised concerns about their future in the league, Challe remains optimistic, emphasizing the team's determination to turn things around.

Having recently led Ken Gold to promotion from the Championship League, Challe admitted that the team's current results are far from ideal but believes their struggles stem from the challenge of adjusting to the higher level of competition. 

He is confident that as the players become more accustomed to the Premier League’s intensity, their performance will improve.

"We have quality players in our team, and I believe they are capable of competing at this level. We've faced some challenges at the start of the season, but I’m confident we can overcome them and improve our performance," said Challe.

Since taking charge on September 17, Challe has been working to address the team’s weaknesses, particularly in central defense and midfield. 

"We've seen some positive signs in other areas, but we need to strengthen our defense and midfield to be more competitive," he added.

Despite the tough start, which has seen Ken Gold suffer defeats against Singida Black Stars, Fountain Gate, KMC, and Kagera Sugar, Challe remains hopeful. 

He attributed the team's struggles to a combination of bad luck and the difficulties of adapting to the league.

Challe's optimism and the team's determination may be key to overcoming their current challenges as they seek to stabilize their form and rise in the Premier League standings.
