Benni McCarthy Yet to Receive Salary as Kenya Coach

Kenya national team head coach Benni McCarthy has revealed that he and members of his technical team have not received any salaries since taking charge of the Harambee Stars.

Speaking during an interview with Sporty TV, the South African coach expressed concern over the situation, revealing that the coaching staff are still waiting for their outstanding payments.

McCarthy suggested that the situation may eventually require the intervention of football governing bodies FIFA and CAF if the matter is not addressed by the relevant authorities.

The former Bafana Bafana striker further disclosed that Harambee Stars players received their outstanding allowances following a go-slow staged in September. However, despite the players receiving their payments, the technical team has allegedly continued working without receiving their salaries.

The revelation has raised concerns about the financial and administrative challenges facing Kenya’s national football setup, particularly with the coaching staff still awaiting payment for their services.

McCarthy and his assistants are expected to continue their responsibilities with the national team despite the unresolved salary issue.

The situation also raises questions about the support and financial commitments made to the technical team when McCarthy was appointed to lead Kenya.

With the matter still unresolved, attention will now turn to the relevant football authorities and whether action will be taken to ensure that the coach and his technical staff receive their outstanding salaries.
