Gor Mahia head coach Hassan Oktay is becoming ‘richer’ every day. Oktay has been named the April Fidelity Insurance Coach of the Month Award winner. Accompanying the award is some good amount of the prize money.
Oktay, who has already led Gor Mahia to a record 18th Kenyan Premier League title, had previously won the award in February, and now he walks away with Ksh 75,000.00.
His closest rivals to the award were Andre Casa Mbungo of AFC Leopards and Kakamega Homeboyz’ Nicholas Muyoti. Oktay garnered 12 points in a poll conducted by an SJAK panel.
“This feels like a fair reward for a difficult job. I’m happy for what my team accomplished. We have dropped points against teams sitting lower in the table but for the big games, there was no competition. We prepared for the big games then they turn out to be a walk in the park,” he expressed.
Paul Ogai, Francis Kimanzi and John Baraza have also received the monthly award in the 2018/19 season.
