Gor Mahia coach Dylan Kerr has said that he still is ‘mad’ at Godfrey Walusimbi, who has moved from the club and joined Kaizer Chiefs of South Africa.
Kerr says Walusimbi signed for the Chiefs for selfish gains and interests and betrayed the team (Gor).
The Ugandan defender signed for the club on Thursday, bringing to an end one of the longest transfer battles in the recent past, with Gor further saying they will report the matter to FIFA.
He was later unveiled as a Chiefs player, penning a three-year deal which will end on June 30, 2021.
“It was a selfish, greedy and unprofessional move that is deceitful to football. It is a disrespectful way he left, it is a joke that only in Africa, players can do as they want and where does that leave the integrity of football?” he said as quoted by Goal.
Kerr added, “Walusimbi was contracted to Gor Mahia and I denied him a chance to go to Chiefs in this manner because it was not right. Even his comments during the Chiefs press conference are disrespectful to my club after what they did to him, playing wise and financially.”
Kerr holds that Walusimbi’s exit was partly to blame for their ouster from the CAF Confederations Cup.
“We let him get away with this and it hurt my players and hurt our chances in Caf competition. His absence greatly affected George ‘Blackberry’ Odhiambo because they would complement each other, but after his exit, George has never been the same player."
