Harambe Stars coach Paul Put resigns over 'personal reasons'

Harambe star's coach Paul Put has resigned from his position.

It is not clear what prompted the resignation but the Football Kenya Federation released a statement saying, they "wish to inform the general public that Mr. Paul Put has officially resigned as the Kenya National Football Team, Harambee Stars Head Coach, citing personal reasons."

The statement continued, "The tactician’s resignation, though down to personal reasons is a setback to the country’s ongoing 2019 AFCON qualifiers as he was an integral member of the Technical bench.

In light of the foregoing, FKF has already begun the process of finding a suitable replacement to fill Mr. Put’s position, with Stanley Okumbi taking charge of the national team in the interim period."

The federation then went ahead to thank "Mr. Put for his professional service and utmost commitment during his tenure with the Harambee Stars, this even as we wish him well in his future endeavors."
