In Summary

Gor Mahia have fired their entire technical bench following a disappointing end to the 2024/25 season where they finished trophyless.

The record Kenya Premier League winners, announced Wednesday that they would part ways with Interim head coach Zedekiah Zico Otieno who oversaw their trophyless end to the season. Zico, who joined Gor as assistant coach at the onset of the 2024/25 season, was bizarrely twice appointed interim coach following changes made in the course of the season by Gor management. Zico first took over in November 2024 following the dismissal of Leonardo Neiva and again in May 2025 after Sinisa Mihic resigned

“Gor Mahia Football Club wishes to inform its supporters, stakeholders, and the general public that it has mutually agreed with the entire technical bench, including members of the team security, to part ways, effective 2nd July 2025.

"This decision follows a comprehensive internal review and is part of the Club's broader restructuring process aimed at strengthening its technical and operational capacity in preparation for the upcoming 2025/26 season,” read part of the statement.

Gor finished the KPL season second behind winners Kenya Police FC and were beaten by Nairobi United in the final of the FKF Mozzart Bet Cup last weekend, leaving the usually hard to please Gor fans completely unhappy.

“The separation has been reached amicably and in good faith, with the Club recognizing and appreciating the contributions made by the outgoing staff. We extend our sincere gratitude to the individuals involved for their commitment, professionalism, and service to the Club during their tenure.

"As we begin a new chapter, Gor Mahia FC remains committed to building a solid foundation that will support competitive excellence both on and off the pitch. Further announcements regarding the new technical setup will be made in due course”, the statement read in finality.

Gor are also said to be targeting the exits of several players who have underperformed this term.
