As a player, he lifted up the moods for many fans in the terraces.
Quick, intelligent and exciting on and off the ball, Paul Mukatabala was blessed with an armor of trickery and ingredients to bring a smile to a fan on a lifesaving machine.
No doubt, he remains a legend at Sports Club Villa Jogoo.
Now a retired Ex-international, one of the two delegates representing the players in the FUFA Assembly and a CAF ‘B’ licenced coach, Mukatabala is set for a return to club he proudly calls home.
Mukatabala is among the tacticians being vetted for the vacant assistant coaching role at the club.
“It will be a pleasure to return to Sports Club Villa. Lets wait and see,” the soft spoken coach who also played at Victors before turning pro in the middle East tells Kawowo Sports.
