His six-year stint saw him establish himself as one of the best foreign talents not only at Zesco United but also in the Zambian league. He went on to win five Super League titles, three Absa Cups, and two Charity Shields. His great abilities also saw Zesco United establish themselves as regular competitors in the Caf Champions League and in the Confederation Cups. Odhiambo was part of the general Timu ya Ziko squad that struggled in the 2019/20 season, failed to defend the Super League title and finished fifth. They ended up missing on the continental slots after participating in the last eight years.
“Famously known as ‘Calabar’ among the Zesco United faithful, Odhiambo established himself among the best foreign acquisitions the club has made in recent years. “Signed from Kenyan Premier League side, Gor Mahia, Odhiambo went on to win five league titles, three Absa Cup championships, and two Charity Shield honours.” The statement continued: “Odhiambo will be remembered for his great defensive abilities and his intellect on and off the ball made him one of the most dependable defenders at the club.” Zesco United Chief Executive Officer, Richard Mulenga has heaped praise on Odhiambo for his professionalism and commitment to duty. “On behalf of the Zesco United Football Club Executive, I wish to take this opportunity to thank Odhiambo for his dedication and commitment to duty. We will never forget his contribution to the growth and success of this football club.”

“This process has already started as part of preparations for us to reach this target. Burundian international Enock Sabumukama has already left the club as Mulenga stated the business in the last transfer window was done with the new rule in mind. “The club has put in place strategic measures to ensure that this process is executed smoothly,” the official added. “For example, Kelvin Kampamba was strategically brought in to ensure that there is cover in midfield in case one of our midfielders left the club at the end of this year. Bruce Musakanya is another creative midfielder that the club recently signed to provide similar cover.”
Zesco United has moved ahead of the pack and introduced a self-imposed foreign player quota. A lot of lip-service has been flying around over the last five years for FAZ to introduce a foreign quota especially in the first and second tiers following a flood of imported players in the league. Zesco have now taken it upon themselves to lead the way with a five-foreign player quota cap. “I wish to inform our strategic stakeholders, especially ZESCO United fans that we are mandated by the ZESCO United Football Club board to reduce the number of foreign players to five by the end of 2021. This process has already started as part of preparations for us to reach this target,” Zesco CEO Richard Mulenga told Zescounitedfc.com.
