2022 World Cup Qualifiers: 'He is a wise coach' - Harambee Stars Olunga defends under fire Firat

Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga has defended head coach Engin Firat, who is under fire after a 5-0 loss to Mali in a 2022 World Cup qualifier.

Olunga was part of the squad that fell to the humiliating defeat at Agadir Stadium in Morocco on Thursday as Kenya recorded their first loss in Group E.
