Jonathan McKinstry: Two time League winner

Jonathan McKinstry from Northern Ireland, was appointed Gor Mahia coach in July of 2022, replacing Andres Speier whose contract was not renewed.

The opportunity to lead Gor Mahia is something that has interested me for several years – ever since I first visited the club in 2016 whilst Head Coach of Rwanda. The stature of the club, combined with its significant and passionate fanbase place them as one of the leading clubs on the continent. To be trusted with the responsibility of guiding them back to success is a task that I relish,” he said

Prior to joining Gor Mahia, he had coached the national teams of Uganda, Rwanda and Sierra Leone. McKinstry went on to lead Gor Mahia to two league titles. The 2022-2023 season and the 2023-2024 season. The former was most impressive as Gor Mahia deployed a young team with hardly any known superstars.

McKinstry repeated the accomplishment again, leading Gor Mahia to another League title in the 2023-2024 season with three matches to spare. He then left to become the coach of the Gambia national team.
