The Kenya Football Federation (FKF) on Wednesday, September 15, released a statement noting that it has parted ways with Harambee Stars coach, Jacob Ghost Mulee.
Others shown the door are his assistant Twahir Muhidin and Goalkeeping Coach Haggai Azande.
In the letter signed by FKF CEO Barry Otieno – the Federation indicated that it had parted ways with the three on mutual consent effective immediately.
“Assistant coaches Ken Odhiambo and William Muluya will remain in the team as the federation works to reconstruct the Harambee Stars technical bench, ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers against Mali, scheduled for October 6, 2021 and October 12,2021, home and away respectively,” reads the statement.
“FKF is immensely grateful to Coach Mulee and his departing members of staff for their dedicated service and workmanship. The federation wishes them all the best in their future endeavors.”
“The search for a new National Team Head Coach is already underway and an announcement will be made shortly in that regard. There will be no further comment from FKF until a new appointment is made.”
Sources indicated that Ghost was fired after Harambee Stars registered poor performance in its first two matches; drawing in two of its World Cup qualifying matches against Uganda and Rwanda.
Ghost will be remembered for taking Harambee Stars to African Cup of Nations in 2004 in Tunisia. It is unfortunate he could not replicate the same success even as the team eyes Qatar World Cup in 2022.
