FOOTBALL Ghost Mulee among elite coaches completing prestigious CAF A License refresher course

Festus Chuma 12:00 - 19.08.2023

Kenya's football development has received a boost as 25 coaches complete intensive training.

Former Harambee Stars Coach Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee is once again making waves in the football coaching realm, as he joins a cohort of 25 elite coaches who are set to elevate their coaching expertise with the completion of the highly anticipated CAF A License refresher course. 

The intensive five-day training, a long-awaited continuation of their last instruction in 2014, marks a significant stride in African football development.

The CAF A License stands as the second-highest certification bestowed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

Above it, the prestigious CAF Pro License is held as the highest honour in the realm of African football coaching.

Mulee, whose illustrious career has seen him guide Harambee Stars to remarkable feats, has now aligned himself with fellow renowned coaches, including Tusker FC's Robert Matano, Kenya Police's Francis Baraza, and Benjamin Nyangweso, formerly of Ulinzi Stars. 

Zedekiah Otieno, John Kamau, Sammy 'Pamzo' Omollo, Ken Kenyatta, Gilbert Selebwa, Twahir Muhiddin, and Yussuf Chippo have also embarked on this transformative journey alongside Mulee

Reflecting on this momentous initiative, FKF president Nick Mwendwa emphasised, "Capacity building of our coaches from the grassroots to the elite level is key in our football development agenda."

In the forthcoming 2024/25 season, a groundbreaking directive will come into play: all premier league clubs will be required to be helmed by coaches who have achieved the pinnacle of certification, the CAF A License. 

Another group of 25 coaches is poised to embark on their own CAF A course this coming October, a development that will further bolster the ranks of CAF A certified coaches to a grand total of 50 within the country.
