Mawogola Football Club signed coach Simon “Dunga” Ddungu for a one year tenure.
The development came as a shock because the same coach had been earlier announced by Buweekula management.
The 41-year-old tactician officially put pen to paper at Mawogola and thus extinguished the Buwekula talk once and for all.
“I am the head coach at Mawogola. Please disregard the earlier media reports that I had signed elsewhere. I am happy for Muteesa to bring me at Mawogola and regard to work with the team management to win the trophy,” Ddungu noted.
Kawowo Sports has established that team officials at Buweekula had a verbal agreement with Ddungu but the tactician had preferred a down payment which never arrived well on time.
“When the coach (Ddungu) was approached, there was a consensus to come and serve. That is the reason he was announced by management. However, the pending issues of payment remained. The coach wanted some fraction of money to push him through the COVID-19 lockdown. This is how Mawogola utilized the lapse and gave him some money. He could not object but sign,” a source that preferred anonymity noted.
He will work alongside Jamada Magaasi and Wilson Kacuucu as assistant coaches.
Dalausi Jjumba is the head of technical department.
Ddungu has previously handled Mawokota (2013 and 2019), Buwekula (2014), Buddu (2018) and won the championship with Gomba in 2017.
