Former Kenya captain Victor Wanyama will not return to the national team until "more professionalism" is demonstrated by those running football in the country.

The midfielder retired from international duty in 2021 but announced details of a potential comeback last December after a meeting with Kenya's sports minister, Ababu Namwamba.

But the ex-Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton star now says there are "more details" that need to be addressed before he is willing to pull on the red shirt again, despite insisting he hopes to "one day" play for the Harambee Stars again.

Kenya have had seven coaches in six years, with Turkey's Engin Firat the current man in the hot seat - and Wanyama says the constant churn has been a source of frustration.
