NAIROBI, July 10 -- The new coach of Kenya's most successful soccer club, Gor Mahia on Monday pledged to recruit local support staff to help nurture young talent in a sporting genre that is popular in the country.

Dylan Kerr, a British national who arrived in Kenya on Sunday, said he will impart expertise to local staff that will be in a position to emulate him even in his absence.

"It is a common practice for foreign coaches to troop overseas for coaching stints with their own prop-up personnel, but I have opted to employ the services of local people," the Englishman remarked during the occasion to unveil him officially in Nairobi.

He said the club's caretaker coach, Zedekiah Otieno, relinquished his role as head coach on Sunday for the assistant position.

Gor Mahia Chairman, Ambrose Rachier welcomed the new tactician to the club and told him he has a free hand to perform his coaching duties without meddling from interested parties.

"Nobody will interfere with your work and we set you free to do your best for the sake of the club," said Rachier

Gor Mahia, that happen to be Kenya's most followed team, have won the national league a record 15 times and have also won the African Cup Winners Cup Club Tournament in 1987.

During the 2017 season, the team ended the league with an unbeaten record and in the process also set a new Kenyan Premier League with a total of 78 records.

Kerr replaces the immediate former coach, Brazilian Jose Marcelo Ferreira, aka Ze Maria, who quit the club halfway through the season for a coaching stint in Albania.
