Harambee Stars Technical Bench Gets a Major Boost Ahead of World Cup Qualifiers
Former Kenya Police coach joins Harambee Stars as assistant to Benni McCarthy, boosting technical bench ahead of World Cup qualifiers.
“It’s a brilliant win, we dominated the game from start to finish and my only bugbear is that we don’t score more goals because at the end of the game you are going through all sorts of emotions. I thought we controlled the last 10 minutes really well so it’s a brilliant win,” he shared.
Fan support
)
Victor Wanyama’s coach added that without their fans, they would have probably not secured all three points.
He noted that the support gave the players all the morale to play like never before, especially after their bitter loss to Hamilton in their previous match.
“Brilliant support here today and I’m just happy for everyone associated with the club, it’s put us moving again in the right direction. They didn’t look like a team that was struggling today and they played very strongly,” Neil Lennon said.
“Marvelous, I mean, some might have stayed away, some might have been disappointed after last week but we had a great turnout today and I’m glad they went home happy. I know what it means to them but it means a lot to me too.”
With just three games left, Neil Lennon knows the margin for error is thin but if Dunfermline can maintain their focus, and composure, and ride the wave of passionate fan support, survival remains firmly within reach.
