Benni McCarthy: FKF President Explains How Harambee Stars Coach Can Leave Amid Orlando Pirates Links
FKF president Hussein Mohammed has revealed what the contract of Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy says about a possible exit following links to Orlando Pirates.
“As a coach, he is a serial winner and as a player, he was also a serial winner, he used to do extra training at 34, 35 years old, finishing. Someone we looked up to and someone who can bring this kind of mindset to our players.”
McCarthy has been lauded for his preference of attacking football, something that saw him overachieve at both Cape Town City, where he won their last trophy, and AmaZulu, who he guided to their best-ever league finish, and there is hope that he will have a similar impact in Kenya.
He, however, continues to be linked to the Pirates job which became vacant following the departure of now Al Ahly coach Jose Riveiro in May.
