FUFA Big League outfit Kyetume Football Club has relieved Augustine Nsumba of his services as their head coach.
The development was confirmed on Friday by the club media liaison officer, Julius Kabanda.
Augustine Nsumba is no longer head coach at Kyetume Football Club after management ruled otherwise. We thank him for the time and services he accorded the club.
The former Uganda Cranes, SC Villa, IBV (Iceland), URA and BUL Football Club intelligent midfielder was sacked following a string of unconvincing results in the second highest league in the country.
Nsumba was instrumental for the promotion of Kyetume from the Buganda Regional League last season months after he was deemed as excess baggage at Jinja side BUL.
In the Big League, the CAF C licenced coach doubled as a coach player.
Impeccable sources inside the club point to in-fighting as well as egoism between the coach (Nsumba) and some senior players.
The state led to Nsumba losing control of the dressing room affairs which showed through the unconvincing results on the field of play.
“The coach wanted to fight a few senior players and this partly worked to his decline,” a source that preferred anonymity within the club disclosed to Kawowo Sports in a separate interview.
In the Elgon Group, Kyetume is currently 5th with 28 points from 19 matches by the time of Nsumba’s sacking.
Meanwhile, former KCCA (Uganda), Esperance (Tunisia), ASEC Mimosa (Ivory Coast), St Patrick Athletic (Ireland) and Uganda Cranes midfielder Livingstone Mbabazi has been appointed as the new Kyetume head coach until the end of the season.
Mbabazi’s first test in the Big League shall be against JMC Hippos on Thursday.
