GOR’S TURNING POINT?
The Kenya Premier League kicked off after seeing the defending champions Gor Mahia go unbeaten throughout the season and Gor’s dominance was surely felt in the fanaticism world. This season has witnessed great tussle for the title after the transfers that saw key players moving from one club to the other and the more profound one was when they lost their most valuable player alias Kenya’s “Pogba ”Michael Olunga from Gor Mahia to Djurgarden
Gor Mahia started their title campaign on a low note and have had a winless run in six encounters which led to the resignation of Coach Frank Nuttall and his assistant Frank Ouna.
Gor Mahia’s new coach Jose Marcelo Ferreira who was officially unveiled in Nairobi on a one-year contract after contacting his first training session on Tuesday. Ferreira oversaw the entire morning training session with the help of the team captains and the team manager Jolawi Abondo.
In his playing career, Ferreira won bronze with Samba boys at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. He also won the Copa America and the confederation cup in 1997.
The Brazilian coach has been offered the job and therefore it’s all about ‘wait and see’ and a matter of time to elapse and see whether Gor Mahia popularly known as K’Ogalo will go back to its winning ways.
BEHIND LEICEISTER CITY’S TITLE CHARGE…….,”REVENGE?”
English Premier League is one of the most popular leagues on the globe basing on the fanaticism experienced all over the world. In the recent past, we witnessed the cohorts or categories of teams that were considered “big” and “others” but seemingly we are experiencing an error where we have teams that do not relate so much with their histories and their places on the table. Teams that got promoted to Premier League were always seen struggling in their performance and many would be relegated or escape relegation by a whisker.
Things have changed and we have witnessed the likes of Watford and Leicester city having great impacts on the league standings and this has raised questions while at the same time breaking the monopoly of some teams dominating the league.
Leicester’s amazing title charge has been fabulous and they seemingly stand a better chance of being crowned as champions owing to the fact that their competitors, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester city lack consistency in the pursuit of the league glory.
Marcel Desailly, former Chelsea captain, gives fascinating insight into Ranieri’s coaching methods and claims that his old boss is desperate to prove a point to English football because he was sacked by Chelsea in 2004 to pave way for Jose Mourinho. Ranieri’s mission is half complete after seeing Mourinho axed earlier this season as a result of poor performance and specifically having lost 2-0 to Leicester city at Kings Power. It was Ranieri’s chance to win the league with Chelsea in 2004 but lost to the then invincible Arsenal which led to his sacking .Now, he has got his revenge and he is going to go on and win the league according to the former Chelsea captain. The Foxes have enjoyed a good run this season and they stand a great chance of being crowned as champions and this will give Ranieri overwhelming victory in his revenge mission as alleged by his old player.......wekea huyu pia please... Hata kama ni late
