Harambee Stars head coach Engin Firat has urged Harambee Stars fans to support the team, more so in the remaining 2022 World Cup qualifying matches against Mali, Uganda, and Rwanda.The Turkish-German tactician was unveiled as the new Harambee Stars coach a week ago following the departure of Jacob Ghost Mulee and was presented to the media by FKF President Nick Mwendwa.The former Moldova national team head coach’s first assignment will be the home and away World Cup qualifier against Mali scheduled for the October international break and all the experienced coach is asking from the Harambee Stars fans is support for the players ahead of the two-legged clash.”For me, it is important that they do not criticize the boys. They have to focus to help them. For example, if a match is not going 100% like they want, you have to be there as a fan to protect them, to help them for better. If they do this, I am sure all together we will do something where everybody will be happy,” Firat said.Engin Firat has been appointed as the head coach, for Harambee Stars.
