Benni McCarthy is set to be unveiled as Kenya’s new head coach on Friday, marking a major step in the team’s rebuild.
The pair met in Scotland in 2008 when McCarthy had travelled there for a Nike event. Munro pursued modelling and fashion from a tender age, winning Miss Edinburg in 2014, the same year she got married to McCarthy.
Munro is much more than just the wife of a football icon—she is an accomplished woman with a fascinating story of her own.

Harambee Stars have not hosted a home clash at Nyayo National Stadium since November 2021.
As a titleholder, she has engaged in various modeling projects, promotional events, and charity initiatives, showcasing not just her beauty but also her intelligence and charisma.
Reports indicate that McCarthy has decided to bring his trusted lieutenants with him when he takes over the Kenya national team job. McCarthy will reportedley name seasoned South African coach Vasili Manousakis as his assistant while his former Orlando Pirates team-mate Moeneeb Josephs will be his goalkeeper trainer.
Manousakis is the latest name to be linked with McCarthy’s backroom staff after Josephs’ imminent appointment was revealed earlier on Monday but unlike the goalkeeper trainer, he will not be among the new tactician’s entourage in Nairobi this week, as he is still contracted to South African club Cape Town Spurs.
Francis Kimanzi has been the interim coach and is expected to transition to technical director once McCarthy is confirmed.
Kenyans are excited about the prospect of McCarthy taking charge of the national team, owing to his proven track record as a footballer and manager.
