Gor Mahia defender Kennedy Onyango praised former club coach Johnathan McKinstry, acknowledging that the team will miss him.

McKinstry left Gor for the Gambia national team after two successful seasons, during which he won and defended the league title.

“He is a gentleman par excellence. He is very calm. I never heard him shout at anyone. He also valued team unity. We are sad that he is leaving, but we will have to move on," Onyango said.

“He occasionally treated us to Nyama Choma. Tell me, which other coach in the league takes 30 players out for lunch because they performed the way he wanted?"

McKinstry began his tenure as Gambia's head coach with a 5-1 victory over Seychelles in a Group F 2026 World Cup Qualifier played on Saturday.

When Craig Bellamy established the academy and brought coach @johnnymckinstry many were sceptical about its potential and more condemned the project after unforseeen circumstances forced closure. Today @SLFA_sl Leone Stars is benefiting from its production. God Bless Bellamy.

When I arrived in Nairobi in August '22, the @gormahiafcke Chairman told me I was joining at the most challenging period of the club's recent history.

A lean squad, transfer ban & operating with a reduced budget.

50 matches later,we have won 2 of the 3 trophies available [1/4]
