Benni McCarthy is on a mission to rebuild the Harambee Stars in his own image, including intergrating more dual nationals such as Zak Vyner and Tottenham's Djed Spence.
New Harambee Stars head coach Benni McCarthy has laid bare his long-term vision for the national team fresh off his first matches in charge against The Gambia and Gabon.
McCarthy has already set the wheels in motion for a rebuild, handing debuts to exciting young talents such as Manzur Okwaro, William Lenkupae of Australia's South Coast Mariners, and Mohammed Bajaber.
All three played vital roles in Kenya’s ongoing World Cup qualifying campaign, showing that the future is already knocking.

Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy reveals why Mohammed Bajaber is his kind of player
Mohammed Bajaber has earned praise from Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy who has revealed how he left an impression on him during their recent conversations.
McCarthy's plan to bring in dual-based citizens
)
But McCarthy has even bigger plans in store — particularly when it comes to tapping into the wealth of Kenyan talent abroad.
“We’ve got the right material. There are so many young stars coming through,” McCarthy said in an interview with NTV.
“There’s an Under-20 team heading to AFCON, full of fresh talent. At the same time, there’s a good crop of local players who can still develop and earn their place.”
Yet it’s not just local-based youngsters in McCarthy’s thoughts. He has a clear eye on Kenyan-eligible internationals who remain undeclared players who, for one reason or another, have yet to turn out for Kenya despite their eligibility.

Michael Olunga: 3 reasons Harambee Stars captain scores freely for Al Duhail but less frequenty for Kenya
Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has received criticism for not translating his great club form to the national team but what are the factors that contribute to this?
“We also have a number of international players who want to play for Kenya but simply don’t know how to go about it,” McCarthy explained. “So we’re looking at how we can create a proper structure to bring them in.”
Names like Zak Vyner , who is still sorting out his Kenyan documentation in order to acquire a passport , and Linton Maina have emerged as potential additions.
Djed Spence is another name linked to the Harambee Stars in recent months, and under McCarthy’s watch, such players might finally be convinced to commit.
Still, the South African tactician made it clear that while he’s ushering in a new generation, he won’t be casting aside the old guard.

Junelle Bromfield Net Worth: Age, Profile, Career, Relationship, Drama, Law Degree, How Rich Is She in 2025?
Junelle Bromfield has emerged as a standout Jamaican 400m sprinter and this article analyses some of the things you might not know about her.
“You can’t build with just youth,” McCarthy warned. “You also need those players who’ve been in the trenches, who understand what it means to wear the Kenyan badge.”
Referencing senior players like Teddy Akumu and Michael Olunga, he added: “We need them to show the younger lads what it takes — why I’ve got 50 caps, why I’ve played for Kenya 20-plus times. That knowledge, that example, it matters.”
McCarthy wants to foster a culture of mutual respect and competition within the squad — where no one is guaranteed a place, but everyone understands what it takes to earn it.
“It’s about creating an environment where players respect each other. Yes, we’re teammates, but we’re also competing. Everyone wants to start. That’s how you build standards.”

Mohammed Bajaber given Harambee Stars warning after dream debut under Benni McCarthy
Mohammed Bajaber has become a cult hero after his starring role for Harambee Stars in March and he has been told what he must do to remain in the plans of coach Benni McCarthy.
The 46-year-old was also quick to shut down the notion that footballers lose value after turning 30.
“We’re not just going to discard the older players and thank them for their service,” he said. “Football doesn’t end at 30. Some of the best players in the world are still flying at that age.”
Ultimately, McCarthy wants to strike a balance between integration of youthful energy and veteran leadership that can push Kenya forward.
