What you need to know:

  • Akonnor, who beat 173 coaches who applied for the job, said he has set his sights on restoring Gor’s past glory.
  • The Ghanaian national assumed the role following Gor Mahia’s decision to disband its technical bench last month.

Gor Mahia’s new coach, Charles Kwabla Akonnor from Ghana, has declared his ambition of steering the 21-time Kenyan champions back to the glory of yesteryears.

Speaking on Friday after he was unveilled by the club in Nairobi, the former Ghana national team coach acknowledged that his immediate task at the club is to make the team great again on the continent. Akonnor takes the position on a two-year contract.
