Gor Mahia head coach Charles Akonnor has been named the Coach of the Month for October 2026 in the ongoing 2026/27 Football Kenya Federation Premier League.

The Ghanaian guided K’Ogalo to the strongest league performance in October, winning all four of their matches and establishing themselves as the early pace-setters.

In the particular month, the defending champions opened their league campaign on October 13, 2026 with an emphatic 4-2 victory over Murang’a SEAL at Nyayo National Stadium before following it up with three successive 1-0 victories.

Their October sequence was:

• October 13: Gor Mahia 4-2 Murang’a SEAL — Nyayo National Stadium
• October 17: APS Bomet 0-1 Gor Mahia — Raila Odinga Stadium
• October 24: Gor Mahia 1-0 Bandari — Nyayo National Stadium
• October 28: Kakamega Homeboyz 0-1 Gor Mahia — Bukhungu Stadium

The four victories gave K’Ogalo a perfect 12 points from their opening four league matches.

Fast start against Murang’a SEAL

Gor Mahia began their campaign in attacking fashion, putting four goals past Murang’a SEAL at Nyayo.

The 4-2 victory was their biggest win of the month and immediately placed the champions among the early title contenders. Murang’a SEAL subsequently bounced back with a 5-1 win over Posta Rangers.

Onyango settles Bomet contest

Four days later, Gor Mahia travelled to Homa Bay for a difficult encounter with APS Bomet.

The champions had to work much harder for their second victory, eventually securing a 1-0 triumph through Alpha Cris Onyango’s 84th-minute strike. The midfielder’s late effort came after a tightly contested match in which Bomet frustrated Gor Mahia for long periods.

The result meant Gor Mahia had collected maximum points from their opening two matches without conceding.

Bandari beaten at Nyayo

Gor Mahia then returned to Nyayo on October 24, 2026 and produced another narrow victory, edging Bandari 1-0.

Rather than relying on the attacking firepower seen against Murang’a SEAL, K’Ogalo showed a different side of their game by protecting a slender advantage and securing another three points.

Homeboyz conquered away

Their final league fixture of October 2026 provided another test of their championship credentials at Bukhungu Stadium.

Gor Mahia travelled to face Kakamega Homeboyz on October 28, 2026, and came away with a 1-0 victory. David Owino scored the decisive second-half goal as the champions maintained their flawless start.

The victory completed a remarkable opening sequence of four wins from four, with Gor Mahia scoring seven goals and conceding only two during October.

Their perfect October, however, was followed by a setback on November 1 when KCB defeated them 2-1, bringing the winning streak to an end. Gor Mahia subsequently drew 1-1 with Nairobi United on November 8, 2026.
