Bafana Bafana legend Benni McCarthy's wait for the first win as Kenya's coach was extended on Saturday as his team played to a goalless draw with Chad in an international friendly game played in Morocco.
It was the third match for the former Manchester United striker's coach, having played to a 3-3 draw against The Gambia before falling 2-1 to Gabon in the initial 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.
While some fans believe Harambee Stars don't have quality players to deliver, others feel Benni is too green for the job. Have a look at their arguments.
Being a good player doesn't mean you will be a good coach
Kenya is not a football nation, only good with coffee plants and marathons. They will win if only Benni plays – Sir-Ace Mokhothu
I fully concur with Bengy Ntsako that being a good player doesn't mean you will make a good coach, and that Benni is our Frank Lampard, and I hope he won't be like Wayne Rooney – Lemmy Ray
Who even said Benni is a coach? Mostly, coaches who do better used to be defenders and midfielders – Sabelo Madlala
Kenya has no footballers; those dudes are lazy and stiff, man. Let them focus on marathon or high jumps – Vibe Heist
There's no coach who's going to coach the Kenya national team except their nationality. Some coaches pay the players to throw away the game. You can bring Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, or Vincent Kompany, but there's nothing they can do with that team – Oscar Mhayise Hlatshwayo
Benni made the wrong decision
I was surprised to know about him being appointed a national team coach with so little experience at that level – Eric All
Where was he going with a Fifa Pro license? Even our neighbors, Zimbabwe, have got better players than Kenya – Thapelo TR
Chad? Chad guys? Chad? The guy must return. He's failed us. Actually, he is not even ready for Orlando Pirates – Mbulazi
I knew he made the wrong decision. He is a good coach, but even Pep can't do miracles with a side like this – Ebrahim Hoosain
He started this slowly, even with Cape Town City and AmaZulu. But when he got a grip, he made wonders. Patience – Siyavuya Ntabeni
