FKF President Hussein Moahmmed has shed light on the confusion surrounding Harambee Starlets coach, despite recent speculation, as the team continues their CECAFA Women's Championships journey.
In a recent YouTube video as quoted by Essentially Sports, Coach Rob highlighted Coleman's struggles, stating, "He doesn’t have any more medals of any color from that 2019 moment up until now. He’s still competing on the pro circuit."
The coach's words underscore a stark reality. At the Star Athletics Sprint Series, Coleman suffered a series of unexpected defeats.
He was bested by 18-year-old high school phenom Maurice Gleaton Jr. in the prelims and then by Brandon Hicklin in the final.
For an athlete who once outpaced Usain Bolt at the World Championships, these results are difficult to reconcile.
"Maybe he (Coleman) will get a medal. But then again, maybe he won’t. Again, it just is what it is."
