Published on September 18, 2021, former Harambee Stars coach Jacob Ghost Mulee has spoken out about his reasons for stepping down as the national team's head coach.
Mulee, who also hosts a radio show, revealed that his brother's health issues played a significant role in his decision to leave the team.
Speaking on Radio Jambo, Mulee explained that he had been in India for two months with his ailing brother, and upon returning, his personal life underwent significant changes.
"I have been going through a tough time," he said. "I was in India for two months with my brother who is ailing. After returning from India, a lot of things changed personally," he added.
Mulee stated that he had plans for the team but felt it would be unfair to continue as head coach while dealing with personal issues.
He emphasized that his decision was made professionally, and he had a meeting with the FKF leadership before stepping down.
"We were just about to start the World Cup qualifying games and in that situation, it is very difficult for a coach to resign," Mulee said.
"After the draw against Rwanda and Uganda, I sat down with the FKF and we all saw it fit that I hand over to someone else," he stated.
