Paul Put has been appointed Harambee Stars head coach for two years. Stanely Okumbi who had been the head coach since 2016 March is expected to be relegated to the assistant coach position. He was shortlisted for the Guinea national team job in July 2016. In February 2017 he was one of a number of managers on the shortlist for the vacant Rwanda national team manager role. Okumbi was appointed in March 2016 and since then, has overseen a couple of disappointing results including the home and away losses to lowly Guinea Bissau in the 2017 Africa Nations Cup qualifiers, plus another loss to Sierra Leone in FreeTown in Kenya's opening match of the 2019 Africa Nations Cup qualifiers.
