Former Ghana national team coach Charles Akonnor has been named the 2025/26 SportPesa Premier League Coach of the Season after leading Gor Mahia to another league title in his first year in charge.
Akonnor received the award during the inaugural SportPesa League Gala Night held on Thursday at the Glee Hotel. The former Black Stars captain helped Gor Mahia reclaim the league crown and extend their record to 22 titles.
The experienced tactician beat strong competition from Sammy Omollo, who guided APS Bomet away from relegation trouble, and Fred Ambani, who inspired AFC Leopards to a second-place finish and a serious title challenge.
