Harambee Stars management board will appoint a chief executive officer for the national team, board chairman Evans Kidero announced yesterday. Speaking on Radio Jambo yesterday, Kidero noted the CEO will be in charge of the day to day operations and planning of strategies for the team. “The CEO will be just like that of a corporate company ensuring the team is self funded and prepared to do the job at hand and ensuring administrative costs are covered,” Kidero said
Kidero said they have advertised for the position in the media and hope to attract a credible person for the job. “We hope to get someone in the position who, in the long term, will provide stability for the team,” he added.
Kidero is convinced the side can qualify to the tournament owing to the enabling environment the team is performing under at the moment” I believe strongly the team can qualifying we had a very shaky start but with the board in charge we can go all the way and qualify for the Cup Of Nations finals in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
He noted that the Stars new kit design came after careful research after it was agreed the team needed a new face. “We opted for a fresh start and the board liked the designs that we saw and the team looks better in that kit,” he added.
The Stars board chief is confident the forthcoming elections will not interfere with the mandate and programme of the board. “The forthcoming elections will not hinder our work. We are not rooting for anyone at the elections. Our job is to ensure Stars are well prepared for the task at hand,” Kidero noted.
