CK Akonnor continues to stamp his authority on Kenyan football, becoming the first manager to win the Coach of the Month award twice in the 2025/26 season.
The Gor Mahia head coach scooped the January accolade after guiding his side to the summit of the league table with a commanding unbeaten run. Across six matches, Gor Mahia recorded five victories and one draw, scoring 15 goals while conceding just four. Three clean sheets underlined a defensive structure that has become increasingly difficult to breach.
It has been a month defined by balance and control. Akonnor’s team blended attacking sharpness with defensive discipline, overwhelming opponents going forward while maintaining composure at the back. The numbers tell a compelling story, but so does the confidence now surrounding the squad as they lead the title race.
For his achievement, Akonnor received a customised trophy along with a cash prize. Beyond the monetary reward, the recognition reinforces the impact he has made since taking charge.
Having already claimed the award earlier in the campaign, this second triumph places Akonnor in a class of his own this season. More importantly for Gor Mahia supporters, it signals a side peaking at the right moment, with their coach setting the standard from the touchline.
