Gor Mahia set to unveil new coach next week

Record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia will announce their new head coach next week, the club’s first vice chairman Francis Wasuna has revealed.

The position fell vacant early this month after German tactician Andreas Spier and the club parted ways following the expiry of his short-term contract penned in February.

With the payers having reported to training ahead of the start of the new term, Wasuna revealed that the management was keenly studying the profiles of the three shortlisted coaches and will pick the best and announce him next week.

Gor players trooped back to training on Monday at the Camp Toyoyo grounds with assistant coach Michael Nam who joined the club alongside Spier taking charge.

Wasuna disclosed that more than ten coaches had expressed interest in the job but the management had whittled down the list to three but remained tight-lipped on the names of the shortlisted gaffers.

“We will unveil our new coach early next week. We are in the final process of selecting the best from the three finalists who are part of the more than ten coaches who had applied for the job. Unfortunately, we have a non-disclosure agreement with the shortlisted coaches and hence, can’t reveal their identities at the moment,” he opened up.

Asked on the kind of a coach the club is looking to hire, the administrator said they will settle for the individual who has proven his capabilities in developing young players and a strict disciplinarian.

He further stated that, K’Ogalo who have now gone for two seasons without laying hands on the league title will hand the job to a result-oriented coach who will fire them back to their past glory.

“We have a young squad that needs to be developed and thus, the need to bring on a board a coach who can get the best out of them. He should have a track record in as far as winning titles is concerned and must have zero tolerance on indiscipline, “ he added.
