Kenyan soccer team coach Sebastian Migne has appealed to football fans and the entire nation to continue supporting Harambee Stars ahead of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Migne said that he is not happy with the endless criticisms he has faced after he named the provisional squad for the competitions as he seeks to make history in AFCON.
He fired at former Stars coach Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee for attacking him following the decision to drop some of the players from his squad.
The coach also noted that Tottenham’s Victor Wanyama is the only player from a top league said arguing that Michael Olunga, who plays for Kashiwa Reysol, is not from a top league as well.
“Some of those players I was being criticised for dropping had never won anything nor qualified the team to a major international tournament. Don’t tell me about the regional Council for East and Central Africa Football Association (CECAFA) Senior Challenge Cup,” Migne said as quoted by the Standard.
Stars were held to a 1-1 draw by Democratic Republic of Congo in a tantalizing match in Madrid, Spain.
Olunga was on target before Congo got an equalizer.
Migne has appealed to Kenyans not to be overambitious as they take on different teams during the competition in Cairo, Egypt.
