As the Christmas break approaches, Gor Mahia fans can breathe a sigh of relief after the club's CEO, Lordvick Aduda, assured them that coach Steven Polack will return to his duties on December 30, 2019.
Polack left the country on Sunday evening for England, but Aduda has dispelled reports that he won't resume his duties in a week's time, citing the coach's two-year contract with the club.
“Polack will certainly be back and we are not worried about that. Why should it be an issue when the coach leaves to join his family for Christmas? He has a contract with us and unless he tells us otherwise, he is still our coach and we expect him back on Monday,” said Aduda.
Before travelling, Polack oversaw K'Ogalo thrash Kisumu All Stars 3-0 in Kisumu to return to the top of the Kenya Premier League table with three matches in hand.
Polack joined Gor Mahia in August 2019, after the departure of Turkish-Cypriot Hassan Oktay, who went to attend to family matters only to resign from his coaching role while in his home country.
Meanwhile, Aduda has confirmed that Ivorian striker Yikpe Ghislain is in Tanzania to finalize a move to Yanga SC, while the whereabouts of Ghanaian Francis Afriye remains unknown to the club.
