Gor Mahia offer coach better terms

Gor Mahia officials are confident that  their Croation coach Zdravko Logarusic  will return to the club next season after increasing his salary by 80 per cent.

Club secretary George Bwana, however, said the team did not have the Sh4 million signing fee the coach was asking for and  pleaded with him to work within the club’s budget.

“We have done our best  as an executive and increased the coach’s salary  from Sh300,000  to Sh500,000  which we think is reasonable enough and would want him to understand our situation and take it,” Bwana said, adding that it would be unreasonable for the club to live beyond their means.

He said the coach is expected back in the country this week for pre-season training but was categorical that life will have to continue with or without the coach.

There have been reports that the coach will not return after Gor Mahia officials  stated that they could not afford the 200 per cent salary increase  demanded by the coach.
