David Ouma, the Harambee Starlets coach, sees no need to panic despite the team's miserable output at the 2018 Cecafa Women's Championships in Rwanda.

Kenya's performance to date is the worst among the five nations participating in the regional tournament
Worse, Ouma's charges only scored once during these outings while conceding three times

" I do not blame my players, but we need coherence, we must continue to build structures to complement our recent success. "

Ouma, Mike Amenga, Richard Kanyi and Musa Otieno were injured. The fact that the Starlets broke up in the last two years with many people who felt the frequent changes on the bench could have contributed to having an unstable team, so the poor come back.
Ouma actually played two rounds.
"This is not a good performance and I am very worried, it is the same group of players who have played for us, we must develop a culture of search for solutions and wait until the The team returns and listens. "
