Former AFC Leopards coach Patrick Aussems will not be joining Gor Mahia after the club made it clear that they are not looking to hire a tactician who has previously worked in the country to replace the departed Johnathan McKinstry.
McKinstry ended his two-year stint with K’Ogalo with a second FKF Premier League title in a row after accepting to become the new coach of the Gambia national team and there has been speculation on the possible candidates to replace him.
Former Leopards tactician Aussems was among the names floated around with the Belgian also confirming an approach from K’Ogalo.
However, according to statement released by Gor Mahia, the club will steer clear from any tactician that has previously worked in Kenya, and is instead looking for someone with experience on the continent, who has overseen an African club to the CAF Champions League group stages and beyond.
“We want to clarify that at this time, the club has not been in contact with any coach for the coaching position,” Gor Mahia announced via a statement posted on social media on Wednesday.
“Additionally, the club will be looking to hire a coach who has not previously worked in Kenya and has credentials such as coaching a top club in Africa to the level of CAF Champions League group stage and above or a national team on the continent.”
