Germany is well known for its hard work and discipline as well as nurturing young players into top-class players as the nation focuses on the tactical aspect of the game. This strategy has seen the nation garner success both domestically and internationally.

Spier spoke of how the technical bench should ensure the fans are always happy as this is one of their chief responsibilities.

"I am very happy for this opportunity to coach Gor Mahia, I am aware it is a club with tradition and football history,

"I also know the fifth place they are in [on the table] does not reflect the ambition of the club. As the technical bench, we will try our best...

"I know it is a young team but this is a situation we can resolve, try to push the young players, and get immediate results.

"We are responsible for our fans and community so we have to respect and make them happy. I can assure them that we will play attractive football, and we will do our best.

"It will be good tactical training with good motivation but the attitude of the players will create a big impact.

"This is not my first time in Kenya, I was here from 2016 to 2018 and I'm aware of the situation. It will be tough since we have good teams but we will overcome.

"Being from Germany, I hope I can bring some discipline and German mentality to the team.

"I like working with young players and I can promote the deserving ones who can be good for the national team and can become champions with Gor Mahia."

The 59-year old German previously enjoyed a stint at Armee Patriotique Rwandaise Football Club (APR) in Rwanda as well as the Rwandese national women’s team. His first match will be on Sunday when the Green Army take on Posta Rangers.
