Ten Foreigners Shortlisted for Kenya Coach Job

The Harambee Stars head coach vacancy has attracted over 60 top foreign coaches, said Football Kenya Federation (FKF) chair Sam Nyamweya on Thursday.

The shortlist has 3 Frenchmen, 3 Serbs, 2 Belgians, a German and an Algerian national with reports that Frenchman Henri Michel is more likely to take the post.

FKF’s previous attempt to have a Frenchman in charge was futile as Frenchman Bernard Lama exited after a short stay due to a rift with the federation.

The position fell vacant after 2-time head coach Francis Kimanzi was relieved of his duties but was later reinstated as the technical director of FKF.  

Here are the 10 shortlisted coaches:

1. Raymond Domenech (France)
2. Henri Michel (France)
3. Claude Leroy (France)
4. Oto Psfister (Germany)
5. Ratomir Djukovic (Serbia)
6. Kikov Milenko (Serbia)
7. Miodrag Djukovic (Serbia)
8. Adel Amrouche (Algeria)
9. Luc Eymael (Belgium)
10. Tom Saintfiet (Belgium)
