According to the Nation, Ottamax posted about his return on his social media pages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hunger and passion for winning and glory drive CHAMPIONS to the point of fist fights, verbal wars but not hatred! We are on a mission and our house is in order. Respect Zee Maria. Respect Gor Mahia,\u201d said Ottamax.<\/p>\n<p>Last Friday Ottamax had announced on the very same page that he had been fired by coach Ze Maria. But the Brazilian tactician denied firing Ottamax saying it was simply a disagreement. The Gor Mahia EC led by Chairman Ambrose Rachier also denied that Ottamax had been fired.<\/p>\n<p>Ottamax now says that his outburst was due to intense pressure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes things happen because of pressure to win and regrettably it portrayed a bad picture to the public. However, I am happy it has been settled and we are now focused on helping the team. Everybody is contented with the decision made and as the season nears a close, we are ready to bounce back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have the Kenyan Premier League and KPL Top 8 titles to fight for, and that is what we are aiming.&#8221; he said according to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Ottamax had a similar outburst when he was dropped from the Harambee stars technical bench.<\/p>\n<p>And Ottamax is not the first Gor Mahia official to react this way.\u00a0 Chris Omondi who had just been elected to the position of secretary general had a similar outburst when he ranted against the rest of the Executive Committee and announced he was resigning. He is among those who have declared candidacy for the club Chairman position.<\/p>\n<p>Ottamax will now need to mend fences with the coach for the sake of the club which has not registered a good result in eight games.<\/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\/ottamax-back-in-technical-bench\/\"\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 goalkeeping coach Mathew Owino Ottamax has resumed his position on the technical bench.
