Image coortesy of Evans Crystal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gor Mahia CEO has dismissed calls by fans to fire coach Hassan Oktay. The calls have been building but reached a crescendo on Sunday when Gor Mahia lost to KCB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow that the team lost to KCB does not mean that we go ahead and  sack the coach. We are not going to sack the coach just because the fans  are demanding for the same.&#8221; Aduda told goal.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aduda reminded fans that Oktay helped the club reach the group stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have just started the season and remember, last year we lost five  matches and still went on to win the league. The same coach has helped  the team qualify for the group stages of the Caf competition and that is  not a mean achievement.\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The match against SoNy Sugar on Wednesday will be one that will test the mettle of Oktay. Another bad result could bury Gor Mahias title hopes and end Oktay&#8217;s career at Kogalo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guikan moving to Zambia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Gor Mahia&#8217;s Ivorian attacker Ephrem Guikan is set to leave the club, likely for a Zambian side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;Yes it&#8217;s true Guikan has left Gor and is closing in on a transfer here,&#8221; a source from the Zambia said to the Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guikan has never settled at Gor Mahia. Coach Kerr never preferred him and he got limited playing time. He almost left the club in November. That was until coach Kerr announced that he was leaving..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He recently fell out with coach Oktay as well after he was subbed within 10 minutes during the match against Mount Kenya United. As a result he was onmitted from the squad that went to Tanzania for the Super cup. Ambrose Rachier confirmed Guikan&#8217;s departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u201cGuikan has written to us requesting to be  released saying he is interested in joining another club. We are in  talks and will release him and that\u2019s why we have left his name out of  Caf list,\u2019\u2019said Rachier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trio registered for CAF Cup group stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> <br>Gor Mahia have strengthened their CAF-  Confederations squad adding in new signing Dennis Oliech, Nicholas  Kipkirui and defender Geoffrey Ochieng.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trio will be needed to be in top form as Gor Mahia face a stern test against Zamalek of Egypt and NA Hussein Dey of Algeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oliech is easily the most experienced player in the competition, having played in the European Champions League against the likes of Real Madrid. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/aduda-oktay-is-going-nowhere\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia CEO has dismissed calls by fans to fire coach Hassan Oktay.
