Polack: Gor Mahia coach against play-offs to decide KPL winner

Gor Mahia coach Steven Polack is against the possibility of using play-offs to decide the winner of the 2019-20 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season should the campaign resume.

The Kenyan top-flight, which was suspended in March owing to the coronavirus pandemic, was ended by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) who went ahead to declare Gor Mahia champions as they were leading the table with 54 points.

The decision by the FKF did not go down well with a number of stakeholders and clubs in general, with Kakamega Homeboyz - who were second on the log, seven points behind K’Ogalo but with a game in hand - insisting the league should be played to the end or a play-off involving the top four teams used to decide the champion.
