Ogweno takes over from Frank Ouna who quit without an explanation last weekend. Ronald Ngala confirmed that Ogweno has been hired on an interim basis.<\/p>\n<p>We are in no hurry to appoint a new assistant coach. At the moment Ogweno will serve as the assistant coach until need for an appointment arises. He has been with the team for some time, understands the players well and we know he can perform as an assistant. We have not officially appointed him as an assistant coach but he will serve in that capacity for now, Ngala told Futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>Ogweno has served in various capacities at Gor Mahia and as had a chequered career. he worked as Bob Ogolla&#8217;s assistant coach in 2012. He then became team manager when Zdravko Logarusic was hired. Most recently he served as trainer. In 2013 he was fired after falling out with Logarusic after Gor Mahia lost the league on the very last day of the 2012 season. His familiarity with the players is the reason he was appointed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He (Ogweno) has been with us for some time; he understands our policy and everything about the club. It was an easy choice because his commitment to the club is unquestionable. I am sure the club as well as the players will benefit from him and to us it is a massive step forward.&#8221; said Ngala to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>As a player, Ogweno starred for Ulinzi Stars in the late 1990s and was a favourite of legendary Harambee Stars coach Reinhard Fabisch.<\/p>\n<p>Ogweno will assist newly hired coach Ze Maria to become familiar with the players including newly signed Jacque Tuyisenge whom Ze Maria assessed, but decalred not ready to play yet. .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Tuyisenge) seems like an out and out striker who is a favourite of any coach. He is responding well to training but the worst I can do is to give him a starting place. But I can assure you that he is part of my plans in the transition period,\u201d said Ze Maria.<\/p>\n<p>According to mediamax network, Tuyisenge has injuries on both knees and may not return until the second leg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGor signed me to score goals and can\u2019t wait to get a clean bill of health from the team\u2019s medical personnel.&#8221; said Tuyisenge.<\/p>\n<p>Fans will be left wondering how the club paid Ksh 4 million without conducting a physical.<\/p>\n<p>The good news for Ze Maria and Gor Mahia fans is that the new coach has some time to figure out how to restore Gor Mahia&#8217;s performance levels. With several players away on international duty, Gor Mahia will not play another league match until April.<\/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\/tom-ogweno-hired-as-tuyisenge-still-recuperating\/\"\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>&nbsp; Former Ulinzi and Harambee Stars striker Tom Ogweno is the new assistant coach at Gor Mahia.
