Gor Mahia appoint former FKF Technical Director, Spier as new head coachGor reinstated Shakava as the club captain in March last year after the defender returned to the club after parting ways with former Zambian champions Nkana FC.The central defender was handed the armband at the expense of his predecessor Kenneth Muguna in changes that were reportedly effected to quell another go slow after the technical bench apparently struggled to raise quorum in training.🟢 | GOALKEEPER TRAINER Boniface Oluoch will be our new goalkeeper trainer on interim basis. #Sirkal | #Betsafe pic.twitter.com/Bz8hTY6o5P— GOR MAHIA FC (@OfficialGMFC) February 1, 2022 Apart from confirming Otieno as the new captain, the club announced that former Kenyan international Boniface Oluoch will handle the goalkeeping department albeit on interim basis. The position fell vacant after Jerim Onyango was shown the door last week alongside Harrison and Sammy Omollo. Jerim who initially handled the Gor Youth took over the reigns at the senior team last year after Willis Ochieng was sent packing.Oluoch who made his league debut in the early 2000’s had won six league titles with Gor and last played for the Cup holders last year.
