Kenya have fut coins appointed former Algerian international Adel Amrouche as coach to take over from Frenchman Henri Michel whose contract was terminated in December.
The 44-year-old naturalised Belgian, who quit his five-year stint as manager of Burundi after the team lost 2-1 to Zimbabwe in qualifying for the 2013 CAF Africa Cup of Nations a year ago, beat 20 other applicants for the vacant job.
"Maybe the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) did not pick a big name, but I can assure you they have picked a hard worker - someone who can change the face of Kenyan football and is ready to open doors of opportunity for Kenyan footballers everywhere in the world," said Amrouche at a news conference.
