Allan Kabonge Kivewala, a CAF ‘C’ licenced coach has agreed personal terms and conditions at Elgon group FUFA Big League outfit, Kyetume Football Club.

The development comes barely a week after Kyetume lost the services of their former head coach, Alex Isabirye Musongola who resigned and joined top tier side Nyamityobora.

Although financial nitty gritty of the deal has not been disclosed, Kabonge, according to highly placed sources at Kyetume has agreed a three month’s short deal with the primary task to guide the side to the Uganda Premier League.

When contacted, Kabonge could neither confirm nor deny the deal but acknowledged his representatives had communicated to him about the availability of a job slot at Kyetume Football Club.

My agent told me about the available job at Kyetume F.C. In case, all the negotiations are completed, I am always more than ready to work. Remember, I am God-sent to teach football.

The FUFA Big League was started in the 2009/10 season.
