Kyetume Football Club has announced a change in the technical department as one of the means looked at to mitigate the alarming rate of poor performance.
Uganda Cranes legend Jackson “Mia Mia” Mayanja bounces back as head coach-cum-manager and takes over from Alex Isabirye.
The development was confirmed by the club chairperson Ruben Kaggwa Mubiru during a brainstorming meeting with the players.
“We have consulted everybody inside the club and this decision to have Jackson Mayanja as head of the coaches was okayed” Kaggwa disclosed to Kawowo Sports.
Since Alex Isabirye took charge of the team after the sacking of Charles Livingstone Mbabazi, the club has lost 6 consecutive games.
The club’s recent lapse in form has witnessed them drop to the relegation parameters.
Isabirye has accepted the decision to work under Mayanja for the betterment of the team.
“I was approached about the decision and there is no way I could say no. We all want better performances” Isabirye testified.
Mayanja has served Kyetume FC in varying capacities as head coach (during the FUFA Big League alongside Allan Kabonge), as technical director and lately as manager.
In 16 matches, Kyetume has managed just 12 points as they lie 14th on the 16 team log.
During the recent matches, they lost 2-1 to Busoga United, drew goal-less with Express, fell 1-0 to KCCA, lost 2-0 to URA, 1-0 to SC Villa and lately were beaten 3-0 by Police.
On 13th April 2021, Kyetume will travel to Jinja city to play BUL at the Kyabazinga Stadium in Bugembe.
Meanwhile, this Tuesday (6th April 2021) Kyetume will host Express during the round of 32 first leg in the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
The return leg will be played days later (on Saturday, 10th April 2021) at the Betway Mutesa II Wankulukuku Stadium.
