Confederation of African Football (Caf) has reduced to six matches a one year ban it had slapped on former Kenyan coach Adel Amrouche.Amrouche has also been fined Sh870, 000. The ban means that Amrouche has to miss six Caf matches before he can be allowed to be on the bench again.
Football Kenya Federation President Sam Nyamweya confirmed the move but insisted that it does not affect recent appointments made on Harambee Stars' technical bench.
“We have been made aware of reduction in the one year ban. However, six matches is still a lot of matches and we cannot stay for all this time without a coach. Our earlier appointments stand,” he told Goal.
Amrouche was suspended for one year three weeks ago after being found guilty of spitting on a match official during Kenya’s pre-African Cup of Nations qualifier against Comoros in Moroni.
The coach however, denied the allegations and filed an appeal which was heard this Monday in Cairo where he appeared in person to defend himself.
After the ban, Kenya FA put in place a new technical bench headed by Bobby Williamson, who will be assisted by Musa Otieno with Simon Mulama as team manager.
