This is good news for the club and its fans who wondered if Nuttall would be back especially after his lengthy holiday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have handed Nuttall a two year deal after a marathon meeting today (Friday),\u201d a source, who attended the meeting revealed. \u201cWe want him to handle the team without interference in terms of contract issues because we believe he has what it takes to propel the team to great heights.&#8221; said a club official to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>In the past 3 years, Gor Mahia has not had a coach for more than a year. Logarusic left in mid 2013 and refused to return. While Bobby Williamson left amicably having signed a contract to coach the national team. Hopefully the two year period will give Gor Mahia some continuity<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also wanted continuity and felt that a one year contract will not give him (Nuttall) enough time to coach the side. We are impressed by what he did last season, helping us to win title after only nine matches and we think he is the right man for the job.\u201d continued the club&#8217;s official.<\/p>\n<p>Nuttall has his work cut out. As it is, he hardly knows the players who featured for the team last season. Now he has to figure out how to build a cohesive unit with 14 new players. It will be difficult. But Nuttall can do it considering how quickly he adapted to the team last season. In fact when Nuttall took charge, the team hardly skipped a beat.<\/p>\n<p>Nuttall will also be hard pressed to come up with new tactics now that other KPL coaches have studied his tactics.<\/p>\n<p>His primary task will be to retain the league title which is the most important tournament as far as fans are concerned. But fans also want to see a better perfomance in other tournaments. Whereas Gor Mahia won the league in 2014, they fared badly in every other tournament from the Charity cup to the Top 8, the GoTV shield, CECAFA cup and the CAF champions league.<\/p>\n<p>Of these the CAF champions league is the second most important. In this regard, hopefully Nuttall will soon get his hands on videos of Madagascan side CNAPs in order to devise a strategy against them. He must also insist on high quality friendlies to prepare for that match, build cohesion and test his strategies.<\/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\/with-nuttall-signed-the-work-can-begin\/\"\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>Scottish coach Frank Nuttall who steered Gor Mahia to its second succesive league title has signed a two year contract<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[193,152],"class_list":["post-5980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-frank-nutall","tag-gor-mahia-coach"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5980\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
