Jitters at Gor as giant club returns to Africa

What you need to know:

  • Barely days into the new season and Gor Mahia players unsettled over how the club should utilise the Football Kenya Federation Premier League winners' cash prize amounting to Sh5 million.
  • Players want to be paid a share of the cash prize but the club management has adamantly refused to entertain such a proposition.

Gor Mahia return to the continental scene after a two-year hiatus away to Al Merreikh Bentiu of South Sudan in their CAF Champions League preliminary round first leg match in Juba tomorrow with many lingering questions over their status as genuine contenders.

Already a section of the vocal Gor fans are questioning the ability of the club's new coach Brazilian Leonardo Neiva to lead a team of K'Ogalo's status to success reckoning he might not be the right man for the job.
