The former Gor Mahia man was in his second stint with the club having previously donned the blue and white jersey before leaving for South African side Golden Arrows.
During his second sting at Ingwe, the former Thika United winger served under Trucha among other tacticians but he shared why the Czech tactician was special.
“A special thank you to our former coach, Thomas Trucha, whose guidance, trust, and vision shaped me as a player and leader. Your impact on this team and on me personally will never be forgotten,” he stated.
Just like Miheso, Trucha was in his second stint at the club, as the two met in October 2023 forming a good working relationship that led to the appointment of the player as the club captain.

Trucha left in January after a series of poor results and seven months later, Miheso followed him at the exit door with much gratitude to the club and its fans.
“My time as captain of this incredible team comes to an end with the expiration of my contract, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you.
Your unwavering support, passion, and energy have been the heartbeat of this club. Through every victory and challenges, your cheers and belief in us pushed me. You are the soul of this team, and I’m forever grateful for the love you’ve shown me,” he added.
