Former Black Stars coach, CK Akonnor
Former Black Stars coach, CK Akonnor has become the first to win the Coach of the Month twice in Kenya in the ongoing 2025/2026 season.
The Gor Mahia trainer was crowned SportPesa League Coach of the Month on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, after guiding the club to the top of the table.
Akonnor beat competition from Osborne Monday (Murang’a SEAL), Bernard Mwalala (Bandari FC) and Fred Ambani (AFC Leopards).
This was after winning five and drawing one out of the six games played in January; scoring 15 goals, conceding four and keeping three clean sheets.
That run ensured they amassed 40 points; four more than second-placed AFC Leopards.
Aside recording a mammoth 4-1 win over Kariobangi Sharks, they rallied from two goals down to beat Murang’a SEAL 3-2.
The former Ghana coach takes home a customized SportPesa League Coach of the Month trophy and a cash prize of KSh75,000 from the sponsors SportPesa.
Akonnor first award won the award in October 2025.
