Despite his shortcomings that led to his abrupt exit, Mihic's tenure saw Gor Mahia back in title contention after a tumultuous start under his predecessor, Leonardo Neiva.

The recently departed head coach also guided K'Ogalo deep into the FKF Cup campaign, ensuring the 21-time FKFPL champions compete on all fronts.

Gor Mahia are faced with the daunting task of having to upset league leaders Kenya Police to defend their title.

The defending champions find themselves at a disadvantaged position, having to play catch-up with the Law Enforcers, as their fate is no longer in their hands.

K'Ogalo have crucial fixtures against AFC Leopards in the Mashemeji Derby, Ulinzi Stars, and Police themselves to try and topple the league leaders, who sit on 61 points, while they sit on 54 in third, behind Tusker in second with 55.

In the FKF Cup, they face a defining semi-final clash against Murang’a Seal on Sunday at the Dandora Stadium.

Seal already soiled their party with a barren draw last Sunday and will be looking to do it again.

Gor Mahia have entrusted assistant coaches Zedekiah 'Zico' Otieno and Michael Nam to oversee the final stretch of their campaign.

Reports indicate Gor Mahia are likely to wait until the end of the campaign to make any decision regarding who will take permanent charge after Mihic.

The duo of Otieno and Nam already had a similar stint before Mihic was appointed.

With Gor Mahia’s campaign now firmly on their shoulders, the Green Army will look to the pair for inspiration to salvage their crumbling campaign.
