South African Benni McCarthy arrives in Kenya ahead of unveiling as Harambee Stars coach
New Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy displays his contract alongside FKF president Hussein Mohammed during his unveiling in Nairobi on March 3, 2025.
As a coach, he served as a first-team coach at Manchester United between 2020 and 2024. He has also previously managed South African Premier League sides Cape Town City and Amazulu, as well as worked as an assistant coach at Belgian outfit Sint-Truiden.
South African football legend Benni McCarthy landed in Kenya on Thursday morning ahead of his official unveiling as the new Harambee Stars head coach on Monday, March 3.
McCarthy will take over from Francis Kimanzi, who has been serving in an interim capacity since December 11, following the exit of Turkish tactician Engin Firat. Kimanzi, who guided Kenya in the Mapinduzi Cup, will be part of the transition team to help the new coach settle into his role.
