December 23, 2019 - Gor Mahia coach Steven Polack will return to the club on December 30, despite leaving the country on Sunday evening for England.
Club CEO Lordvick Aduda has assured fans that Polack will resume his duties as scheduled, 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.
Polack's departure comes after Gor Mahia thrashed Kisumu All Stars 3-0 in Kisumu, returning to the top of the Kenya Premier League table with three matches in hand.
Speaking to Nation Sport before departing, Polack said his assistant Patrick Odhiambo would take charge of their next league match against Posta Rangers at Narok Stadium on December 29.
"I'm going home for holidays and my assistant Patrick Odhiambo will take charge of the team. I will be back on December 30 to continue with my duties but in case of anything, I will personally communicate my decision to the club management," said Polack.
