Management of Kyaggwe football team has confirmed CAF “A” licenced coach Alex Musongola Isabirye as the head coach.
Isabirye, a former Uganda Cranes international takes over from Augustine Nsumba who tendered in his resignation three weeks ago.
For starters, Nsumba had been appointed on 25th May 2019 on a short term basis before he reigned over a number of push factors.
The vastly experienced coach who has handled a number of clubs in the Uganda Premier League as URA, BUL, Nyamityobora will be deputized by Moses Ogling.
Ogling, who is also the goalkeeping coach has been the caretaker coach since Nsumba’s shocking resignation.
With Kyaggwe among the lucky teams that have already qualified to the quarterfinals of this year’s edition, and now the task for Isabirye is to prepare the players for the knockouts in the quest for their first-ever Masaza Cup.
