Management of Ssingo Ssaza Football team officially unveiled Simon “Dunga” Ddungu as head coach for the upcoming 2022 Buganda Masaza Cup tournament.

Ddungu last season served at Busiro Ssaza alongside Ronald Ssali and did not skip the quarter final hurdle.

He comes forth with rich experience having handled Gomba, Mawogola and lately Busiro.

On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, he was among the three coaches unveiled at Ssingo, winners of the tournament in 2015 and 2018.

Currently also the head coach of Mbale Heroes in the Eastern Regional League, Ddungu will be deputized by Emmy Kisakye who was head coach at the same team last season.

I am honoured by the management of Ssingo Ssaza for this opportunity to work for the team. I thank the media and the people of Ssingo for supporting the team. It is time to work and win a trophy.
