The coach went ahead to thank Gor Mahia players and urged them to remain focused in their careers.

“To players, all l can say is a thank you for being amazing – everyone played their part with fun, enthusiasm, hard work and most of all belief in what l demanded for both on and off the field. I hope you continue having the vision l constantly told you and always remember no regrets,” continued the letter.

Rachier thanked the departing Englishman for his services.

“As a club, we thank him for the level he has taken the club. We truly appreciate his work. He was understanding, respectful and a man of the people l must say. He did his work with passion and that helped the team to deliver good results.”

“We have a CAF match coming up later this month and will not be in a hurry to get a replacement. We will continue with the current technical staff as we take our time to get a suitable replacement.”
