Kenya Coach Sebastien Migne Faces Backlash After Tanzania Defeats Harambee Stars ¶
Kenya's Harambee Stars coach Sebastien Migne has come under fire after the team's elimination from the 2020 CHAN qualifiers at the hands of Tanzania.
On August 4, 2019, Kenya and Tanzania played to a 0-0 draw at Kasarani, forcing the match to be settled on penalties. Tanzania eventually won 4-1, dealing a humiliating defeat to Kenya.
Kenya's lackluster performance in both legs of the match has left fans questioning Migne's squad selection and tactical decisions. Some key players, including Nicholas Kipkirui, Boniface Muchiri, and Abdalla Hassan, were overlooked, while the decision to play Clifton Miheso in the left-back position and Ibrahim Shambi at right-back when Philemon Otieno got injured was heavily criticized.
Furious Kenyans have taken to social media to express their anger and disappointment, calling for the sacking of the French tactician. One Twitter user posted, 'Migne had no business staying after AFCON.' Another added, 'He needs to go.' A third argued, 'It's about time! #Migneout. Arrogant! Poor team selection.'
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Migne's future as Harambee Stars coach hangs in the balance.
