Kenyan football star Dennis Oliech has dropped some heavy words of advice for the young players aspiring to be the next 'Oliech'.

Speaking to Mozzartbet, the football darling said,

"My advice to them is don’t be like Oliech, be more than Oliech that is why I am saying we need more professional football academies in Kenya to nurture these kids."

He added,

"Most of the academies now ask for high fees and that is why I am saying the Federation needs to set up these structures which will in turn, ideally feed the Under 14, Under 17 and Under 20 junior National teams. This will set us up for success."

Asked about footballers who are struggling financially after their hey days are over, Oliech noted,

"I can’t really talk about finances because I’m not an expert in that but they should at least invest something. If you have some money start a business for your partner or wife, our players wait to make millions of money but that will never come."

He continued,

"If you want to make millions go to Europe, here you will never make a lot of money. Not all will make it to Europe ofcourse so if you are here in Kenya, just invest with the little you have even if it means buying a motorbike, it will give your around Ksh500 daily which is not bad."
