Gor Mahia head coach Steven Pollack has been named the November Fidelity Insurance Coach of the Month during an award ceremony held at Camp Toyoyo Grounds on Thursday morning, January 9, 2020.
Pollack, who bagged the October award, made it a double after guiding the reigning Kenyan Premier League champions to three wins in November. The team played five Kenyan Premier League games in November, winning three and drawing one, while losing once.
Speaking after the award ceremony, Pollack dedicated the accolade to his fellow technical team at Gor Mahia and the players who worked hard on the pitch to make it work. 'I'm delighted to get this accolade, but I dedicate it to fellow technical team at Gor Mahia and the players who worked very hard on the pitch to make it work. It means we can achieve much more with better conditions,' he said.
On their performance in November, Pollack expressed optimism, saying, 'You all know our situation, but we try to make the best out of it. We have started the year well, and hopefully, you will be back here end of January.'
Pollack beat Sofapaka's John Baraza and Ulinzi Stars' Benjamin Nyangweso to bag the accolade. He took home Sh75,000 courtesy of sponsor Fidelity Insurance and a personalized trophy.
