Pacific FC are in need of a new head coach after they fired Michael Silberbauer with one game remaining in the inaugural Canadian Premier League on Oct. 18, 2019. With James Merriman in charge of the last game, Pacific FC beat Valour FC 2-0 to finish fifth in the overall standings.

Kah previously worked for Major League Soccer side Cincinnati FC as an assistant manager. At Cincinnati, the 39-year-old worked first with Alan Koch and then Yoann Damet last season.

According to a report by Pro Soccer USA, the 39-year-old, however, left the expansion franchise on Aug. 4, 2019, in pursuit of other career paths. Those other career paths could now lead Kah back to British Columbia, where he previously played for the Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS.

A source has indicated that @Pacificfccpl have hired @PMKAH as the club’s new head coach.



He is a former #VWFC player and Norwegian International. Most recent stint at #MLS expansion side #FCCincy as assistant coach.



Scott Sutter was also in the mix.
