The Coach will replace Dylan Kerr, who recently left to join South Africa’s side Black Leopards. Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno is currently holding the seat as Gor Mahia interim Head Coach.
Reports indicate that K'Ogalo leadership has settled on Hassan Oktay as Kerr’s replacement.

“It is true. Oktay is due in the country on Sunday (today). He is coming for three-month probation but will then sign a one-year contract. We feel that he has the capacity to lead this great club,” noted a source close to the club.
According to linkedin.com, Oktay is a UEFA ‘A’ Licensed Coach. He has previously worked in England, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand.
The coach is expected to watch the KPL Super Cup clash pitying Gor Mahia against Kariobangi Sharks at the Machakos Stadium, from 3 pm today, Sunday.
