Returning home:

At Buddu Ssaza, Mugerwa brands the trek back to the team as a journey to all where it started.

“To return to Buddu Ssaza is coming back home. This is my home where my coaching journey started” the former Masaka S.S head coach says.

At Buddu Ssaza, he won the 2016 Masaza Cup football trophy, a feat he believes can be replicated.

“I am returning to Buddu Ssaza to make it at the top once again. The main target is the trophy, nothing else” he adds.

At the moment, Mugerwa is head coach at Proline Football Club in the Kampala regional league and at the same time, he is head of coaches at Buddo Secondary School.
