Reigning Kenya Premier League champions Gor Mahia are facing uncertainty as coach Steven Polack prepares to leave for England on Sunday, December 22, 2019, amidst a player strike demanding five-month salary arrears.
Polack, who joined the club in August this year, has revealed that he will be back on December 30, 2019, if all goes well, but his future at the club remains uncertain.
While the game between Gor Mahia and Kisumu All Stars scheduled for this Sunday is in doubt due to the ongoing strike, Polack has said that his assistant Patrick Odhiambo will be in charge of the team and the game against Posta Rangers on December 29.
‘I’m leaving the country this Sunday and hopefully I will be back on December 29. I’m a honest person and I will communicate my decision to the management if I’m unable to make it back and continue with my duties at the club,’ said Polack.
The current strike by the players is still going, with Polack doubting if the game against Kisumu All Stars will be played on Sunday. ‘How can you play in a match that you have not trained for? I’m waiting for direction from the management so as to see if players will end their strike and be back on training so that we can honour the match,’ he added.
