The Football Kenya Federation (FKF)on Sunday 19, 2021, unveiled the new Harambee Stars coach.
FKF President Nick Mwendwa announced the appointment of Engin Firat who is coming in to replace Jacob Ghost Mulee who shook hands with the federation last week.
Speaking during his unveiling Mwendwa said:
“We have discussions back and forth and we have agreed with Mr.Engin that he can take this task. Engin is a top qualified coach who has coached at the highest level. He is vastly experienced and during his stint as Moldova’s coach, he faced some of the European football giants.
Someone who fits the project
“In our circumstances we were looking for someone who fits the project we have. We have a team that is in between a campaign and we were looking for someone who fits the task.”
“Mr. Engin will have an engagement with us for 2 months, to take on the four remaining matches against; Mali (home and away fixtures), Uganda (away fixture) and Rwanda (home fixture),” said Mwendwa.
Firat, a German-Turkish, is a UEFA-Pro license holder, and will be in charge of the national team for two months.
This means that the new coach will only be in charge of Stars for the four remaining World Cup qualifier matches, before further announcement.
