Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee Returns As Kenya Coach On A Three-Year Contract

Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has been re-appointed as Kenya national team head coach on a three-year contract.

The 52-year-old replaces Francis Kimanzi who parted ways with the national team on mutual consent on Tuesday.

Mulee has been given a target of reaching the finals of the 2021 African Cup of Nations, to be played in Cameroon.

“He will release his new technical bench in the next coming days. We have not time to waste and soon he will unveil the squad for the Comoros game. He has been there done that, won titles and now we have faith in him,” said Football Kenya Federation boss Nick Mwendwa.

The tactician who doubles up as a radio host has a lot of experience having coached Harambee Stars to the 2004 Africa Cup of Nations finals held in Tunis, Tunisia.

He has also managed several teams in the East African region and worked extensively in Tanzania and Rwanda.

In his first spell in charge of Kenya, the Harambee Stars crashed out early at the 2004 African Cup of Nations finals after winning one and losing two of their group games.

He resigned from the national team coaching position after a disagreement with the Normalization Committee that was running Kenyan football.

Mulee will debut at the helm of the team when they meet Comoros on November 11, (home) and November 15, 2020 (away).
