Aringa, who formerly coached at Shabana FC as interim coach, believes Leopards finally have the mentality to go toe-to-toe with their fierce rivals.
"The flavour is back in Kenyan football. Even this Derby (Mashemeji) the other day, I think the football was very good," said Aringa on a recent episode of The Exit Show on YouTube.
"AFC were not scared, they had character and they fought Gor Mahia. Gor Mahia overcomes them all the time because of character," he noted.
"They (Leopards) usually come into the fixture like underdogs, but this time their heads were held high; they were fighting for each ball."

Aringa proceeded to back Leopards coach Fred Ambani on that account, stating that he should be given time.
"They should give their coach (Fred Ambani) the time to do his job. He is under so much pressure," he noted.
"I think these community clubs (AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia) usually have a problem with their local coaches. They are very comfortable with foreign coaches," said Aringa.
Ambani himself succeeded Czech Republic's Thomas Trucha, who was dismissed following a poor return with Ingwe.
