Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) Football Club has finally filled the post of Assistant Coach.
Former Uganda Cranes international midfielder James Odoch was on Thursday officially named the club’s Assistant Coach, after beating Hamza Lutalo in a two man race.
Odoch has been head coach at Jinja club, Jinja Municipal Council Hippos F.C.
The club Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Edward Kulubya communicated Odoch’s appointment after the former winger signed a three year contract.
URA F.C is glad to announce James Odoch for a three year contract.
Odoch replaces another former international, Charles Livingstone Mbabazi who was sacked for absenteeism at work.
He is glad to join the tax collectors and more so joining his former teammate at Express and Uganda Cranes, Kefa Kisala, who is head coach at the club.
I am excited to join Uganda Revenue Authority Football Club.
It will be great working with my long time friend, Kefa Kisala. My dream has been working so hard to get to the big clubs in the league. I believe with Kisala, my friend we shall make it and even win the title.
URA FC drew 1-1 with Vipers in the last Premier League outing. Odoch immediately turns the guns against his former paymasters at JMC when URA visits Kakindu stadium this Saturday.
It is not yet clear who will replace Odoch at JMC Hippos FC.
