Kenyan players are advised to prioritize professionalism for successful European moves and lasting careers, as many struggle during overseas trials or return home prematurely.
Football agent Omar Banza, managing Harambee Stars defender Joseph Okumu, emphasizes the crucial role of proper orientation for Kenyan players, highlighting a need for improved guidance from football administrators, club chairmen, team managers, and coaches.
Banza notes that the prevailing emphasis on social life over professional conduct hampers players’ opportunities abroad.
He also suggests that cultural differences contribute to African players playing a secondary role compared to their European counterparts.
