Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has called for patience from Kenyan fans and media, stating he lacks a “magic wand” for instant success.
His plea came after Kenya secured a 2-1 friendly win over Chad, marking McCarthy’s first victory since taking charge in March.
Speaking to Citizen Television, the former Manchester United coach emphasized the need for time to assess players, comparing team building to constructing a castle, not a day’s work.
Goals from Emmanuel Osoro and David Sakwa sealed the win in Marrakech, providing a boost after a 3-3 draw against The Gambia and a 1-2 loss to Gabon in World Cup qualifiers.
With Kenya co-hosting the 2024 African Nations Championship, the morale-boosting victory is crucial for McCarthy’s squad development.
