Gor Mahia coach Steven Polack is facing an uncertain future at the club due to the ongoing financial constraints and a player strike that has left the team without a salary for the last four months.
Polack, who is the sole breadwinner for his family, has expressed his frustrations over the situation, stating that he will have to make a decision in a few days on the way forward.
"Things are continuing to be tough not only to the players but also for me. I'm the sole breadwinner for my family back at home and I have to pay for their house and take care of them," Polack said.
The British coach remains optimistic that the management will act to salvage the situation, but the current situation has affected the performance of the team in their past encounters.
Gor Mahia has been undergoing tough financial times since the exit of their shirt sponsor SportPesa, and with the January transfer window beckoning, a number of players are rumoured to be on their way out of the club.
Defender Maurice Ojwang has already written a letter asking to be allowed to leave, while captain Kenneth Muguna has requested to be released through a sporting agency.
