Gor Mahia coach Sinica Mihic has opened up about the problems affecting the quality of Krnyan football at club level.

Gor Mahia head coach Sinica Mihic has questioned the competitiveness of the Football Kenya Federation Premier League.

The Croat who faced AFC Leopards in his first ever Mashemeji derby on March 30, said goals from open play are rarely found in the local league.

This, he said is as a result of poor technical execution from the side of the players and was also critical about the dire level of passing and finishing that needs to be worked on.

In an X platform video, the 47-year-old said that the situation has been the same since he set foot in Kenya.

"Many of the goals coming from corners, free-kicks and penalties..many questions why? It's about the quality of the passing, finishing, technical execution," Mihic pointed out.

The much-traveled tactician also raised eyebrows regarding the amount of freekicks and penalties awarded during matches.

"I don't know.. yes but this is what I saw. Every game, free-kick, penalty goal from open playing not too many goals. "

Afterwards, Mihic, whose over two decades of coaching experience and tactical acumen has seen K'Ogallo climb higher up the table, said part of the problems is because of the quality of pitches. "I think it's about pitches," Mihic noted.

Sinisa Mihic officially took over as the head coach of Gor Mahia February 3, 2025, succeeding Zedekiah "Zico" Otieno, who was serving as the interim coach.

His appointment marked the end of Gor Mahia's quest for a foreign coach following the sucking of Brazilian tactician Leonardo Neiva.
