Angry Kenyan football coach denies hawking players

Kenya national football head coach, Adel Amrouche, on Friday vigorously denied allegations he is hawking the country's local based players to overseas clubs for profit.Speaking at a media briefing, the visibly annoyed Belgian tactician said he was using his expansive international coaching links to link Kenyan players to foreign clubs to improve their careers just as he did in his four-year tenure in Burundi."I don't talk about transfers.
