Former Gor Mahia assistant coach Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omolo has declared his desire to see the record Kenyan champions end their two-year title drought by the end of the 2022/2023 Football Kenya Federation Premier League.Making his assessment on the current title race involving Gor, Tusker and dark horses Nzoia Sugar, the experienced tactician, who is currently out of work after being shown the exit door at Kenya Police back in December 2022, singled out K’Ogalo for the title as he praised the way the Johnathan McKinstry coached side have gone about their business in a largely eventful season for them.Thanks for the support #Gor Mahia Fans..#SportpesaNaGor #Sirkal #Kogalo pic.twitter.com/9ZsGtlOaBn— Gor Mahia FC Ke (@gormahiafcke) May 8, 2023 The former Kenyan international also showered praise on the country’s most in form striker Benson Omala who has taken the league by storm following his 25 goals in 29 games played so far, leaving him on the verge of breaking the goals scored record in a single season held by Charles Odero who bagged 28 goals for Scarlet in the 1983 campaign.“So far, I have really been impressed by Gor Mahia and the way they are playing. It shows that they are really serious about winning the league. I am also enjoying the way Benson Omala is playing and scoring a lot of goals which is good for him and the club.Four goals in four matches for Gor Mahia striker Benson Omala so far this season.Is he finally rediscovering his Western Stima form? Took him long but so far so good, how many goals do you think he will score this season? #FKFPL #KenyanFootball pic.twitter.com/FeUNclRqeV— Jeff Kinyanjui (@_JeffKinyanjui) December 28, 2022 I just pray, as a former Gor Mahia coach, that they will have a good run then of course for Omala to win the Golden Boot which will make me happy,” Pamzo told Mozzart Sport.With only five games remaining before the 22/23 season winds up, the tactician, who was full of praise for third placed Nzoia Sugar, urged the title contending to ensure consistency if they are to win the title.“The race is neck and neck with Gor Mahia leading the pack and Tusker giving a good chase. KCB is also there and Nzoia is playing some good football and pulling some very good results but consistency is very important especially in the remaining games.##NAJAVA_MECA_7244763##It is a situation where if you draw or lose then your chances quickly diminish. So far, Gor have been consistent and the fixtures have really favoured them because most of the games they have played are at home and they have taken advantage of that.It is just unfortunate not many fans are watching their games like AFC Leopards. By now the fans should be pushing them over the line, unfortunately not many of them are there.Tusker need to eliminate any inconsistencies and win their remaining games but we should also keep an eye on Nzoia who are just waiting on the wings to sneak if the top two fumble,” the head coach, who led Tusker to the 2011 title noted.
