Kerr explains Simba SC and Gor Mahia difficulties

Former Simba SC and Gor Mahia head coach Dylan Kerr has explained the difficulties he faced while coaching in Kenya and Tanzania.

Kerr was appointed Gor Mahia coach in 2017 to replace Brazilian Ze Maria and went on to win two Kenyan Premier League (KPL) titles.

He arrived in Kenya having been in charge of Tanzanian giants Simba SC from 2015 to 2016, and has revealed what made his job in both countries rather difficult.

“I went to Tanzania [to coach Simba FC] – that was out of this world, the worst stadiums and pitches you’ve ever played on, driving nine hours to play a game, then I went to Kenya for 18 months, again with terrible facilities and not getting paid for months, but we won the Premier League back-to-back,” Kerr told Yorkshire Evening Post.
