Samba dance: Brazilian coach emerges as top candidate for Gor Mahia coaching job
Brazilian coach with a rich international track record is a top candidate to succeed Jonathan McKinstry at Gor Mahia.
Among these were Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Tuchel, and Jose Mourinho. Hansi Flick’s name also emerged as a potential candidate, but according to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, the German manager is not interested in the Chelsea role.
"Flick is focused on other projects," citing sources close to the 59-year-old.
Flick has been without a job since his dismissal as Germany manager following a 4-1 defeat to Japan last September, which marked their fourth loss in five games.
Despite this, his impressive track record with Bayern Munich, where he secured seven trophies including back-to-back Bundesliga titles and the 2019/20 Champions League, has kept him in the conversation for top managerial positions.
Flick has recently been linked with a potential return to Bayern Munich, as well as being considered for roles at Barcelona and Manchester United. However, his immediate future seems to lie away from Stamford Bridge.
