The single biggest issue facing Kenya's men's national team is who will be its next manager. Former stars coach Stanley Okumbi has been running the team on an interim basis ever since Paul Put resigned, but the team's future direction will largely depend on who is hired permanently.
Kenya's style of play is outdated; while they do endless long balls to forwards, most opponents just hover, waiting to intercept a long ball in defense.
Also, most Kenyan players don't have that European touch. In essence, Harambee stars must try to play attractive football.
The new coach should have a philosophy of playing attractive football. The players must be trained to be able to aggressively perform, short passes and play upfield.
The movement must be precise, the ball should be on the ground and must be accompanied by clever passing executed with the purpose of keeping the team moving forward.
Part of these frustrations in Harambee Stars woes is the ability to indulge a new crop of younger players. The yet to be named new coach should raise the bar and introduce a crop of new younger players to the national side.
A young talented generation of players is emerging, and the talent should be centered on our style of play. The younger players should adopt on playing attractive football from a younger level.
After disastrous years, we need to start thinking again. In my humble opinion, the idea we have of the result of performance and tactics must be addressed urgently.
