He is also livid that Ottamax went to social media to make the announcement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel going into the social platform and writing what he wrote was unprofessional and should not be so. All in all, I respect my players and staff, I have not undermined anyone in any way. This is because we have to work together in unity for the good of the team.&#8221; said Ze maria to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Ze Maria is adamant that Ottamax walked away from the team and was not fired.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Having a misunderstanding does not mean that you walk away from the team. That is what Ottamax did, he walked away from us; I did not fire him at all.&#8221; he continued<\/p>\n<p>Chairman Ambrose Rachier is also unhappy with the behaviour that Ottamax exhibited<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Issuing such a statement on social media is also shocking because if such a thing happens he (Ottamax) should have just informed me. Until now, I have not heard from him (Ottamax) and I strongly believe that he is the keeper trainer at Gor Mahia,&#8221; Rachier told Goal.<\/p>\n<p>Rachier had earlier released a statement in which he said he was unaware of the firing and that as far as he was concerned, Ottamax is a high quality coach and is still responsible for the goalkeeping department at the team<\/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\/now-ze-maria-denies-sacking-ottamax\/\"\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&#8217;s Brazilian tactician Ze Maria has now distanced himself from reports that he fired goalkeeping coach Mathew Owino Ottamax.<\/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":[442,419],"class_list":["post-8806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-mathew-ottamax","tag-ze-maria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8806","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=8806"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8807,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8806\/revisions\/8807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
