We are targeting the league title and the FA Cup – Gor Mahia coach Charles Akonnor

Akonnor was appointed as the head coach for the side before the start of the 2025/26 football season.

Since his arrival, the former Ghana international has guided Go Mahia to the top of the league log with 43 points after 20 games, six points ahead of their closest rivals, AFC Leopards.

Speaking to Graphic Sports, Akonnor expressed confidence in the progress the team has made under his leadership.

He added that his tenure at the club had started on a positive note, thanks largely to the strong backing he had received from management and stakeholders.

“So far things are going on right, and we are targeting the league title and the FA Cup,” he stated.

Akonnor believes the team’s current form and unity could be key in their quest for silverware, especially after narrowly missing out on the title last season.

Gor Mahia finished second in the previous campaign behind Kenyan Police FC, a result the coach says has provided extra motivation for the squad.

The former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak coach emphasised that lessons from last season had shaped the team’s mindset, with players determined to go one step further this time around.

He added that consistency and discipline would be crucial as the season entered its decisive phase.

He noted that winning multiple trophies would not only restore Gor Mahia’s dominance in Kenyan football but also strengthen the club’s reputation on the continental stage.
