Kenyan midfielder Anthony ‘Teddy Akumu’ has made a bold prediction about Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy.
The and oversaw two 2026 World Cup qualifiers against The Gambia and Gabon, coming from behind twice to force a 3-3 draw with the Scorpions, before a 2-1 loss at home to the Panthers.
Despite the poor start, Kenyans were impressed by the forward-thinking approach of the as his team played on the front foot in both matches unlike under his predecessor Engin Firat, when Harambee Stars were too defensive.
That was just after a handful of training sessions, given he was with the team for less than a week before his first match, and one of his players saw enough to believe puts his imprint on the team.
Ronney Onyango has officially joined Sogndal Fotball with the aim of honouring his late father.
“I really enjoyed playing under McCarthy in the last two games in the World Cup qualifiers,” Akumu told

“He is a great coach and really knows what he is doing. We played like that [attractive football] after just three sessions. Just imagine the change we will see when we train longer?
“I believe he will succeed with the national team because he has already shown what he can do.”
While following the draw and loss, which leaves them on six points from as many matches, while Ivory Coast and Gabon have 16 and 15 points respectively, McCarthy has a chance to impress during the 2024 African Nations Championships.
Johnathan McKinstry has unleashed a scathing criticism of local Kenyan players in regards to securing moves abroad compared to their West African counterparts.
Kenya will co-host the delayed CHAN 2024 tournament with neighbours Uganda and Tanzania and even though they are in a tough Group A that has Morocco, Angola, DR Congo and Zambia, there is pressure on McCarthy and his team to deliver on home soil.
