Williamson: I havent signed a contract as Kenya coach

Coach Bobby Williamson has categorically stated that he has not signed a contract with Football Kenya Federation to become the national team coach.

“I was announced early this month as new coach of Kenya. We have only discussed with the authorities, but not signed a contract yet” Williamson told BBC Sport in Kigali.

This comes after it turned out that coach Adel Amrouche has not been terminated as national team coach.

He said he would wait to return to Nairobi and see how things unfold with the Kenya national side. He told the BBC that if he signs a contract to coach the Harambee Stars, he will resign from his position at Gor Mahia.

Coach Williamson denies that his association with the Kenya job played a part in Gor Mahia’s exit from the east and central Africa regional club competition being held in Rwanda. This after there were rumours that some of the players were demoralized after the announcement that Williamson was leaving.

Rama Salim joins Coastal Union

Former Gor Mahia striker Rama Salim, who recently failed to earn a contract after trials in South Africa, has joined Tanzanian league side Coast Union of Tanga on a one year contract. Speaking to the press, Coastal Union secretary Kassim El Siagi stated that his side is excited about the signing and that it will enable them to challenge for honours in the upcoming season.

  • I think he will be a good coach for Kenya. I would have preferred that he be given powers to hire and fire his assistants instead of FKF

    Agreed,but do you really think his appointment to the National side demoralized Gor Mahia players? @Ingo that’s not in Kenya,”he be given powers to hire his assistant”forget it some people in the fideration has vested interests.

  • I hope u stay in Gor & give us the league so that we go back to kagame cup when it will be hosted elswhere away from Rwanda. I am sure that if we win the league then it will be gud for the club,the players & the kenyan league. If our boys will play with determination in our remaining league matches like they played against APR, then am sure that we will win the league with two matches to go. Please bobby stay with Gor a little longer. The FKF is not a federation to work with.

    The kind of federation we have will only destroy your reputation.The govt also is likely to disband it & u might find uaself hanging without a team.I know that u’ve always wanted to coach kenya but at the moment the federation is in turmoil & we love u so much that we dont want u to fail. Stay longer in gor or coach the two teams so that Gor do not loose ua services. u r the best coach we have & will always want.
    K’ogalo forever.
