Cecafa Cup: 'Kenya's qualification for semi-final outweighs my return from suspension' - Kimanzi

The coach was given a touchline ban for unsporting behaviour and missed the matches against Sudan and Zanzibar

Kenya head coach Francis Kimanzi has said reaching the semi-final of the Cecafa Senior Challenge is more important than his return from suspension.

Kimanzi had been banned by Cecafa after the game against Tanzania and went on to miss the Sudan and Zanzibar ties.

He is expected to lead the team again on Tuesday against Eritrea, but he says the fact Kenya qualified for the knockout phase far outweighs his return from suspension.
