Gor Mahia are eying coaching prospects as they seek a strong rebound after losing out on the league title on the back of parting ways with Sinisa Mihic.
After a rocky season that saw them narrowly lose the league title to Kenya Police FC, Gor Mahia have already begun plotting their return to the summit of Kenyan football.
The first step in this rebuild came with the departure of Croatian tactician Sinisa Mihic, who was relieved of his duties just three months into the job on May 19.
With the head coach position now vacant, here are three potential candidates K’Ogalo could consider as they aim to reclaim their dominance.

A former coach and long-serving tactician in the Kenyan Premier League, Otieno understands Gor Mahia’s culture and expectations better than most.
Known for his tactical discipline, Zico has led the team in past stints and is widely respected in the local football fraternity.
Should the club opt for continuity, Otieno is a safe and strategic choice to provide short-term stability and long-term planning.

If Gor Mahia are seeking a proven winner with a deep emotional connection to the club, Dylan Kerr stands out as the ideal candidate.
The tactician made an instant impact during his first stint in 2017, winning back-to-back league titles and leading the team to their first-ever CAF Confederation Cup group stage appearance.
Kerr's tenure also delivered the Kenyan Super Cup, making him one of the most successful foreign coaches in the club’s recent history.
His high-energy approach and rapport with fans make him a popular choice.
If he is open to a return, his reappointment could inject both belief and ambition into the team’s dressing room.
As Gor Mahia enter a crucial rebuilding phase, the choice of their next head coach will be pivotal.
Whether they opt for the experience of Zico, the fresh outlook of Michael Nam, or the familiar winning pedigree of Dylan Kerr, the decision must align with a broader vision to restore K’Ogalo’s dominance both domestically and continentally.
