Harambee Stars head coach, Francis Kimanzi has been sacked.
Kimanzi exits the national team alongside his backroom staff, goalkeeper trainer Lawrence Webo and assistant Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno.
The coach has served the team since last year after his boss Sébastien Migne left.
“Harambee Stars Head Coach Francis Kimanzi and part of his backroom staff have left the national team by mutual consent," read in part a communique from FKF CEO Barry Otieno .
It further read, “The federation is immensely grateful to Coach Kimanzi and his departing members of staff that include assistant coach Zedekiah Otieno and goalkeeper Trainer Lawrence Webo for their exemplary work, dedication and unrivaled professionalism, which has strengthened Kenya’s chances of qualifying for the AFCON 2022 final tournament.”
The federation wished them well and mentioned its efforts towards looking for a replacement.
According to reports, it is likely that former coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee will retake the role. However, FKF clarified that there will be no more communication on the matter until it has secured a replacement.
If Mulee retakes the role, he will bring in his excellent skill set and expertise as coached the national team in 2010.
He is likely to be assisted by former Stars skipper Musa Otieno and Kariobangi Sharks tactician William Muluya.
