Coach Shawky Gharib pleads with football chiefs in Kenya to support Bobby Williamson insisting the Scot tactician means good for Harambee Stars.
Egypt coach Shawky Gharib has pleaded with football chiefs in Kenya to accord Bobby Williamson time and support his ambitions to turn around fortunes of the sport in the country.
Speaking to Goal after watching his side struggle to beat Harambee Stars 1-0 in a friendly on Saturday night, Gharib said Williamson is the kind of coach who can help Kenya end her poor run of results in continental scene.
"Williamson is the kind of coach Kenya needs at this hour and time. He is a marvelous tactician who knows African football well having handled Uganda Cranes. He loves working in Africa and more importantly he his a top class coach.
"I have looked at his first assignment today (Saturday, while playing against us) and I am shocked that Kenya played good football. We were frustrated for the first 45 minutes and this was a very tacticial work of Williamson.
"I understand his philosophy well and if Kenya supports his initiative, I am very sure that in two years time, the country will be playing in African Cup of Nations or even World Cup.
"He came here with a young team without professionals and you could see for yourself that their display was amazing. I hope Kenyan federation keeps him around for a long time and give hims total support."
