Former Harambee Stars coach Ghost Mulee has criticized Gor Mahia for favoring foreign coaches over qualified locals like Zico Otieno.
Former Harambee Stars head coach Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee has criticized Gor Mahia’s handling of local coaches, accusing the club of holding onto outdated thinking that favors foreign tacticians over qualified Kenyans.
This comes in the wake of Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno’s unceremonious dismissal as interim head coach of the record FKF Premier League champions.

Mulee Speaks Out
)
Speaking out candidly, Mulee expressed disappointment over what he termed as a continued lack of trust in local expertise, despite their experience and achievements.
“Zico was at Gor Mahia a couple of times, but they did not believe in him, despite the fact that he is a former national team coach,” Mulee said as quoted by Eastleigh Voice..
“There is still this outdated belief that a 'white' coach is more capable.”

Beatrice Chebet became the first woman to run the 5000m in under 14 minutes at the Prefontaine Classic.
A Pattern of Disrespect?
)
Zico, who has served Gor Mahia on multiple occasions, both as assistant and interim head coach, was dismissed in June 2025 after a turbulent spell marred by fan unrest, inconsistent results, and internal friction with Croatian head coach Sinisa Mihic.
Despite briefly stabilizing the club during a managerial crisis in January, Zico was passed over for the permanent role, once again replaced by a foreign tactician.
Mulee pointed to this as a reflection of a deeper institutional bias.

Why Trayvon Bromell Will Not Underestimate Christian Coleman, Kishane Thompson And Co Amid Rejuvenated Form
Trayvon Bromell has been on good form since returning from a nasty achilles injury, but is not getting complacent after losing to Kishane Thompson and Zharnel Hughes in Oregon last weekend.
The Bigger Picture
)
Zico’s coaching CV includes multiple top-flight stints and even time with the Harambee Stars national team.
Still, his presence on the Gor Mahia bench was rarely viewed with long-term confidence.
Critics like Mulee say this feeds a cycle where local coaches are undercut.
Mulee, who himself led Harambee Stars to their 2004 AFCON appearance and has long advocated for local talent, insists that real progress will only come when Kenyan football fully embraces its own.
