Nuttal joined us after Bobby&#8217;s had done 3\/4 of the work he is a great coach too, he said to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>His last match was against SoNy Sugar in early August before he took the Harambee stars job. Williamson joined Gor Mahia in mid 2013 taking over from Croatian coach Zdravko Logarusic who refused to return to the club after going on holiday.<\/p>\n<p>During Williamson&#8217;s tenure, Gor Mahia was always at or near the league summit. The one blemish on his record was his inability to win the Mashemeji derby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel disappointed I leave the club having not won any derby in four attempts but I\u2019m happy I leave the club in good position to defend the title and everybody seems to love the way we play,\u201d said Williamson on his last day in charge of the club.<\/p>\n<h3>Jaro Soja denies reports<\/h3>\n<p>Famous Gor Mahia fan Jaro Soja who was offered a job by the president has furiously denied reports that he turned down the job.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Contrary to the romours going round that I have turned down the job offered by the His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, I wish to clarify that I am and will always be available to serve him and Kenya at any capacity he requests me to. To all Gor Mahia fans, I remain one of you. I am a Kenyan first, then a Gor Mahia fan.
