After leading Gor Mahia to three consecutive Kenyan Premier League victories, Ghanaian coach C.K. Akonnor won the SportPesa League’s Coach of the Month award for October 2025.
Gor Mahia’s strong start, fueled by Akonnor, put them at the top after winning against KCB, Posta Rangers, and Mathare United.
The former Black Stars manager credits his flexible strategies for the team’s early success and says Arsenal’s fluid style partly inspires his approach.
Akonnor’s leadership, which began in August, has instilled belief and discipline, surpassing Fred Ambani and Charles Okere.
He received a personalized trophy and Ksh 75,000 in cash for his success. The league leaders, Gor Mahia, maintain their unbeaten streak after six matches.
