Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has appointed Frenchman Sebastian Migne as the new Harambee Stars head coach.
The new Coach was unveiled on Thursday morning. The former Congo Brazzaville head coach was handed a three-year deal.He takes over from Stanley Okumbi, who was recently redeployed to the national U20 side.
Until his redeployment, Okumbi was Harambee Stars interim coach following the resignation of Belgian Paul Put.
Put who is now Guinea head Coach, resigned from his Harambee Stars role in February this year barely four months after being unveiled Stars coach.
He resigned due to what he termed as personal reasons.
Sebastian Migne was unveiled alongside his assistant Nicolas Bourriquet and is set to bring in goalkeeper trainer Guiilaine Coffey and chief medical officer Ludovic Breul.
FKF president Nick Mwendwa praised the credentials of the new coach and assured him of the federation’s support.
"He is a great coach who has a rich history of African football. With him around, our chances of making it to the 2019 Cup of Nations are high. The government and the federation will accord him the support he requires,” said Mwendwa.
On his side, Migne said: "It’s a new challenge for me and I am ready to start the job. I want to meet the players and the local coaches so that we can begin our quest for Cup of Nations football."
