Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford experienced his best return under now Harambee Stars boss Benni McCarthy as a striking coach.
Kenyan football has entered a new era with the appointment of Benni McCarthy as the head coach of the Harambee Stars.
The South African tactician brings a wealth of experience, particularly in unlocking the potential of forwards—an ability that was evident during his time at Manchester United.
During his stint as Manchester United’s striking coach under Erik ten Hag, McCarthy played a crucial role in Marcus Rashford’s resurgence.

5 Highest paid African players in Qatar: Where does Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga rank?
Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga is among African players plying their trade in Qatar and he also ranks highly when it comes to those earning big money in the Gulf nation.
The English forward hit his best-ever goal tally, scoring 30 goals in 43 appearances during the 2022/23 season.
In a 2024 interview with SuperSport Unplugged, McCarthy shed light on his approach to coaching Rashford, highlighting his straightforward and honest style.
"Everyone tells Marcus Rashford what he wants to hear. I'm straight to the point, and I think he respected that instead of me sweet-talking him for other reasons," McCarthy explained.
By providing honest feedback and fostering a strong relationship, McCarthy helped Rashford rediscover his confidence and sharpness in front of goal.

Harambee Stars players told what they must have to play for Benni McCarthy
Harambee Stars players will need a certain skill set to play for new coach Benni McCarthy, according to a Kenyan tactician who has played against him previously.
As McCarthy takes charge of the Harambee Stars, Michael Olunga, the team’s captain and talismanic striker, stands to gain significantly.
The Al-Duhail forward has been Kenya’s main attacking threat for years, but with McCarthy’s expertise, he could elevate his game to another level.
Beyond Olunga, emerging forwards such as Tusker’s Ryan Ogam and John Avire could also benefit from McCarthy’s guidance.
His proven ability to fine-tune strikers' positioning, finishing, and mentality will be crucial as Kenya prepares for 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Harambee Stars' defensive prospect Djed Spence upbeat despite Tottenham's slump
Kenyan and England international Djed Spence is one of the few bright sparks going on right now for Spurs side that is experiencing a slump in form.
McCarthy’s first major test as Harambee Stars boss will be the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Gambia on March 20 and Gabon on March 23.
These matches will provide an early glimpse into how well he can implement his philosophy and whether his influence on the squad—especially the forwards—will bear immediate results.
With his track record of transforming strikers and a no-nonsense approach to coaching, McCarthy has the potential to revolutionize Kenya’s attack.
If he can replicate the success he had with Rashford, Harambee Stars could soon become a formidable force in African football.
