For Kenya Police goalkeeper Patrick Matasi, the latter seems to overshadow his recent journey with the Harambee Stars.
In a candid and emotional revelation, the 36-year-old custodian shared the details of his fallout with national team head coach Engin Firat.

Matasi found himself sidelined during critical fixtures against Zimbabwe and Namibia in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Speaking on Thursday, Matasi did not hold back as he shared the words he uttered to Firat, exposing the tension and mistrust that had built up between them.
“I told him the truth: 'Coach, I know what you have done, you want to f*** up my career with this match,’” Matasi revealed, his voice heavy with frustration and sadness as per Flashscore.
“Why are you taking your weapons to the bench then starting with the small boys, who can’t even handle the pressure?”
The goalkeeper was referring to Kenya’s humiliating 4- loss to Cameroon in Douala during the Group J fixture.
Matasi accused Firat of fielding a weakened team a decision he believed was meant to undermine him.
