One of the biggest hurdles in the selection process will be salary demands.

Arum emphasized that while many applicants have impressive profiles, Gor Mahia must remain financially prudent.

“Some applicants may have expectations beyond what the club can accommodate on matters salary,” said Arum as quoted by Citizen Digital.

This means high-profile coaches with hefty financial demands may be sidelined in favor of those offering value within Gor’s budget limits.

Gor Mahia are not just seeking a qualified coach, they want someone who understands the club’s culture, goals, and current needs.

Arum noted that the evaluation will be grounded in ensuring the chosen candidate fits within the club’s vision.

“We will assess all applications carefully and select candidates based on their qualifications, the club’s needs, and financial considerations,” he explained.

A coach with a grasp of local football and a blueprint for success in both domestic and continental competitions will stand out.

Technical credentials and experience will be the top criteria.

Gor Mahia is looking for a coach with solid professional qualifications and a demonstrable track record of success.

“We have reviewed all the submissions and will be considering 247 qualified applications following another round of review,” said Arum.

Candidates with CAF or UEFA licenses, championship titles, or national team experience will likely be prioritized for interviews.

As Gor Mahia continue their coach search, these three key blends will determine the next K'Ogalo boss.
