FOOTBALL: Harambee Stars give Kenyans sour Fathers Day gift
Lackluster defending allowed the hosts to pounce on a spilt ball from a first half set piece.
The club still has a shortlist of alternative candidates that they continued to work on all the while looking to finalise the German manager’s arrival. For L’Équipe, the candidate with which talks have been positive is likely to be one of Luis Enrique, Xabi Alonso, and Thiago Motta.
The former Barcelona and Spain manager is known to have support among the club’s ownership – and having previously been linked to the Napoli job, which is now taken by Rudi Garcia, he remains a free agent.
Bayer Leverkusen are unlikely to let go of the ex-Liverpool man, who is unwilling to go against his club’s wishes, while Thiago Motta has had little contact with his former team until now.
Marcelo Gallardo, who is the favorite to take over at Marseille, has been the subject of some discussion too. In any case, the Ligue 1 champions will be looking to wrap up a deal with their prospective new coach as soon as possible.
