The soft spoken coach whose last job in Uganda was in Lira with the then Big league side Lira United before switching allegiance to the Kenya Premier League under Nairobi City Stars is destined for yet another job in Kenya.

Muhoroni Youth football club has reportedly agreed terms with Tamale.

Tamale has been a free agent since his contract with Nairobi City Stars expired and good enough, Muhoroni has already sacked their coach, Tom Juma.

Previously at Artland Katale, Tamale, who has coached Entebbe Young and KKL will be assisted by James ‘Odijo’ Omondi.

The plumber by training tactician acknowledged in an exclusive interview with Kawowo Sports;

We discussed and agreed but in life everything is ruled completed when signed and sealed.

Tamale will be unviled on Tuesday, 13th December 2016 and start with the trials of players at the club.

In case all goes according to plan, he will become the second Ugandan coach to take charge of Muho in just over a year; Tusker FC coach Paul Nkata joined Muho in June 2015.

Nkata handled the club for just six months before crossing over to Tusker in January 2016

The Ugandan had joined Nairobi City Stars in June 2016 but his efforts and expertise was not good enough to save the Kawangware based from relegation.

Tamale is famous for his love of short crispy passing style of play where he emphasizes build up from the back line.

He is also a special scout for the ASPIRE Football Dreams programme in the East African region.
