Gor Mahia Unveils New Coach

Gor Mahia FC has unveiled coach Sinisa Mihic as the club’s new coach.

The club has confirmed the appointment of the 48-year-old Croatian this Monday, February 3, 2025, in an event in Nairobi.

 Mihic takes over Gor Mahia who are third on the log and will be tasked with turning the club’s fortunes around following an inconsistent run under the interim tenure of Zedekiah ZicoOdhiambo and Michael Nam.

The two retain their respective roles at the club as the first and second assistant coaches as per the club update.

K’Ogalo is six points behind coming off a campaign that earned them their 21st KPL title.

On November 13, 2025 K’Ogalo took the decision to part ways with Brazilian coach Martins Neiva, who had taken over the reins for the 2024-25 season. Despite arriving at Gor with much fanfare and promise, Neiva only lasted for six league games where Gor secured two wins, two draws, and as many defeats. He also oversaw the team’s early exit in the second round of the CAF Champions League at the hands of Al Ahly.

A 2-1 defeat to Nairobi City Stars on October, 28 proved to be Neiva’s last straw.

The new Croat trainer is a holder of the UEFA Pro license and started his coaching badges at HK Halubjan in 1999 as youth coach.

He led HNK Rijeka in a similar capacity between 2005- 2007 before being elevated as the assistant manager for the team’s seniors for a year.

Beyond his native Croatia, Mihic has had stints in Sudan with Al Merreikh as an assistant manager between 2009 and 2010, Kuwait’s Al Fahaheel, and Al Ahli FC Youth also as an assistant manager in 2010.
