The 24/25 season saw Gor hire and fire two different coaches within the same season.
After Johnathan McKinstry left the club at the end of the 23/24 campaign to take up The Gambia’s national team job, K’Ogalo appointed Brazilian Leornardo Neiva as his successor.
However, the coach was sacked after just six league matches with Zico named interim head coach in November 2024.
He stayed in the position till February 2025 when Sinisa Mihic was appointed head coach. Mihic was sacked in May with Zico once again entrusted as interim head coach before his sacking.
