Being some of the A license holders in the country, we are privileged to help some of our younger brothers and sisters do the B license and other courses. I think that’s where our football should be. This is the first regime where coaching courses have been taken seriously and that has been our main problem as Kenyans,” Zico said.And the journey continues CAF B Coaching Course underway. pic.twitter.com/0MNF2c9nAD— Godfrey Otieno (@Godfrey02981729) September 6, 2021 The former Kenyan international detailed the course, noting that it has theory, practical, and internship aspects in it over the four months.By the end of the four months, Zico believes that the coaches will have gained insurmountable coaching knowledge that will come in handy for them as they propel their coaching careers.”It has been a four-month program that has a theory, practical lessons, and an internship program in between.
