The record FKF Premier League champions endured a disappointing 2024/25 campaign, ending the campaign without a title despite the massive investment made in the squad.
This was the first time the club failed to win a title in a season since 2016 when Tusker dominated by clinching both the league and Cup.
The sacking of the entire technical bench marked the beginning of what is expected to be a significant restructuring process.
In a statement posted on the club’s official Facebook page, Gor announced the opening of the head coach position and invited qualified candidates to submit applications.
The announcement outlined strict qualifications for the role, requiring applicants to possess either a CAF A Pro Diploma or a UEFA Pro Licence.

The successful candidate will also collaborate with the technical team, club management, and officials on player recruitment while ensuring compliance with club policies and broader FKF, CAF, and FIFA regulations.
