Gor Mahia's Vaz Pinto explains Ochieng nickname

The Portuguese tactician said he was given the name by the K'Ogalo fans because of the time of his birth

Gor Mahia head coach Carlos Manuel Vaz Pinto has revealed why he was given a local nickname by the fans of the FKF Premier League side.

Vaz Pinto stated that since he was born at lunchtime, according to the Luo culture - a community the club derives most of their supporters from - a child born during that time is named 'Ochieng' and thus he has accepted the name.

The tactician also revealed his dream of living like an African man who can have a number of women.
