Kenya national team coach Engin Firat has revealed that he has gone for nine months without pay.
Firat is believed to be on a monthly salary of Ksh1.5 million (around $11,500).
Speaking after the Harambe Stars’ 2-1 win over Namibia on Tuesday, the Turkish gaffer bemoaned the unfulfilled promises from the Kenyan FA, saying:
“What makes me sad is that we have no support, in Uganda (against Zimbabwe), I was told we would have 5,000 fans but I could count how many were there.
“I am also not okay, if you don’t pay the coach for nine months even one dollar, then what do you want? I want people to stop criticising the team.
“Now we have FKF elections and everyone makes propaganda even the ex-national team coach.”
Meanwhile, after the win over Namibia, Kenya moved to the top of the group with four points.
