NAIROBI, Kenya, November 12, 2026 – Gor Mahia head coach Charles Akonnor has been crowned the best in the FKF Premier League for the month of October.

Akonnor beat other competitors for the crown after an impeccable start to the 2026/27 campaign in which they won their first four games.

It began with a 4-2 thrashing of Murang’a Seal at the Nyayo Stadium on October 13, before nicking past APS Bomet with a 1-0 win in Homa Bay, four days later.

A week later, Alpha Onyango scored his third goal of the season as Akonnor’s charges dispatched Bandari 1-0 at the Nyayo Stadium.

Four days later, at the Bukhungu Stadium, David ‘Messi’ Okoth turned up big with a cracker of a goal as Gor beat Kakamega Homeboyz 1-0 to continue their unbeaten run.

Since then, the record FKF Premier League champions have lost won and drawn once — a 2-1 defeat to KCB in Embu, followed by a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Nairobi United at the Wang’uru Stadium in Kirinyaga.

The Ghanaian joined the league champions in July last year, and won the Premier League at the first time of asking.
