He was Gor Mahia coach for two seasons having been first hired as a technical advisor to work with Gideon Ochieng &#8220;Agido&#8221;. Ochieng was later dismissed under acrimonious circumstances and much to the chagrin of many Kogalo fans.<\/p>\n<p>Zico&#8217;s first year was succesful, leading Gor Mahia to the second position in the league, the highest that Gor Mahia had achieved in almost 10 years. However cracks started to appear mid season. There were unconfirmed rumours of some players being victimized. However no player has come forward to substantiate said rumours.<\/p>\n<p>However when Gor Mahia went through a stretch of poor results, it became apparent that Zico&#8217;s place in the technical bench was untenable. This is the natural order of the day in football. A coach can be succesful at the beeginning. But opposing teams soon adapt and figure out how to confront that coach&#8217;s tactics. If the coach does not continuously adapt to new tactics , he will find himself loosing. This came to the fore in the case of Kogalo when even bottom teams like Congo United brazenly declared that they knew how to beat Gor Mahia and followed through by doing exactly that. Adapting to new tactics is not always easy which is why most teams including the biggest European teams change coaches every three or so years. Astute coaches like Mourinho also understand that there comes a time that a coach has to leave and seek new pastures.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, we wish Zico happy trails at SoNy Sugar or wherever his next coaching assignment will take him.<\/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\/lets-wish-zico-all-the-best\/\"\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>Zedekiah Otieno &#8220;Zico&#8221; is in the process of joining Sony Sugar as head coach to replace Mike Baraza.
