According to GOAL, a source told their website that the National Executive Council of the Football Kenya Federation and the newly elected president of the federation, Hussein Mohammed, have settled for the former Manchester United assistant manager.

"The National Executive Council, NEC, under the leadership of Vice-President McDonald Mariga, settled on McCarthy as the man who can help Kenya reach the next level," the source said.

"We understand that this will be his first national team job, but he has the ability and potential to deliver for us; all he needs is support. So unless there are last-minute changes - which is highly unlikely, he will be unveiled in early January with his team."
