Former Asante Kotoko trainer Steven Polack has been voted for as the best coach in the Kenyan Premier League.

The Gor Mahia gaffer  was voted for as the Fidelity Insurance Coach of the Month Award for October following series of victories that has kept the defending champions at the summit of the league.

Polack guided K'Ogalo to three victories in three matches, beating Nzoia Sugar 2-0 before narrowly dispatching struggling Zoo and Kariobangi Sharks each by a solitary goal.

"I'm humbled to receive a personal award for the team's performance in October. I have to thank them for putting in hard work because I would not have got it. It is encouraging during such tough times to be awarded," he said.

Polack was shoulders above other coaches in the running for the October award with his 100% record that earned his team nine points.

He was closely followed by KCB coach Zedekiah Otieno who earned the bankers seven points from two victories and a draw.

"It is a wonder that despite off field issues you have continued to achieve great results on the pitch. It is our prayer that you emerge from this stronger and continue with the good job," Fidelity Insurance marketing manager Nicholas Malesi said

For his reward, Polack received a personalized plaque and Sh75,000 equivalent to $730 courtesy of sponsors and follows in the footsteps of the last four Gor Mahia coaches who have landed the gong since its inception.
