• Spier's immediate assignment will be helping the Green Army turn around their form as they eye the domestic title

Former Kenya Premier League champions, Gor Mahia, have appointed Andreas Spier as their new head coach.

Spier was handed the role to succeed Ugandan Paul Nkata who had been named the club's head coach in an interim capacity.

K'Ogalo entered the market in search of a new tactician after they dismissed Mark Harrison and his assistant Sammy Omollo following a string of poor performances.

The highlight of Harrison's troubled tenure with the Green Army was when his charges suffered a 3-0 humiliating loss in the hands of Posta Rangers.

The KPL giants have now brought in Spier, with the hope the German will turn around their campaign.
