Shrestha has said that he plans to prepare the team targeting upcoming league. "The team´s performance was satisfactory in the last league season and I want to give continuity to the last year´s performance," Shreshta said. "I have taken the Ncell Cup to be held later in this month as the preparation for the league. I will try to fulfill weakness in the team by hiring foreign players after watching the team´ performance in the Ncell Cup."
Shrestha also shared his plans of elevating the team into top eight positions in the current season. The Club had finished in 10th spot in the last season. "I know the league will be more competitive than previous edition but we will aim to finish in top eight positions," said Shrestha who had represented Nepal during the age group tournament.
