Engin Firat has resigned as the coach of Kenya’s Harambee Stars. This was confirmed in a press conference by FKF President Hussein Mohammed
“I’d like to point out that the national team coach terminated his contract through a notice that was issued at the beginning of this week. We will be looking at the way forward once we have internal consultations with the technical team and secretariat at the Federation,” Hussein told journalists today, 11 December in a presser at Kandanda House
According to Hussein, one of the grounds for Firat’s resignation was salary arrears. Hussein clarified that the Federation would conduct a comprehensive audit and issue a way forward.
Under Firat’s guidance, Harambee Stars could only finish 3rd in Group J which consisted of winners Cameroon, second-placed Zimbabwe and Namibia. During his 3 year tenure, he managed to only win 3 competitive games;against Rwanda (2-1), Seychelles (5-0), and Namibia (2-1).
