He brings a wealth of experience to the table, having made his national team debut at 19 against Zaire in 1993.
With 105 appearances and 13 years as captain, he remains the most-capped player in Kenya's history. Otieno has served as an assistant coach multiple times, working under various head coaches from 2011 to 2022.
Former Harambee Stars captain Musa Otieno has declared his readiness to take on the role of national team head coach following the resignation of Turkish tactician Engin Firat last week.
Firat stepped down citing unpaid salary. Speaking on Wednesday at Aga Khan High School in Nairobi during the National Sports Talent Elite Camp organised by the Kenya Academy of Sports (KAS), Otieno, a 50-year-old CAF 'A' licensed coach, expressed his desire for the position while emphasising the importance of grassroots talent development.
