Posta Rangers tactician Sammy 'Pamzo' Omollo will take charge of ="https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/sports/football/2001394637/caf-disqualifies-new-gor-mahia-coach-oliveira-from-taking-part-in-champions-league">Gor Mahia< during the upcoming CAF Champions League preliminary matches.
The record Kenyan champions appointed Omollo as the stand-in coach for their CAF Champions League preliminary match away to Rwandan giants’ APR this coming Saturday after their newly appointed coach was banned from overseeing the club's CAF matches for the 2020/21 season.
The club was left to seek alternative option after CAF ruled that Oliveira’s qualifications did not meet the bare minimum threshold – a CAF Level B license for such matches.

Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier confirmed the appointment via the club website, revealing that they are in talks with the continental body regarding Oliveira’s situation. "We have settled on Sammy Omollo to be our stand-in coach for the team in Rwanda as we try to sort out the current coach issue with CAF. Coach Omollo will lead the technical bench as Roberto is not allowed to be on the touchline until the issue is sorted," said Rachier.
Gor are set to begin their 2020/21 CAF Champions League matches this Saturday with a first leg preliminary tie against APR of Rwanda in Kigali.
