The CAF “C” certified tactician has openly expressed readiness to take on Police during the round of 32.
“We are ready for the task ahead” Luzige who also played professional football in Nkwanzi in Zambia stated.
“They (Police) are a good side and the fact that they played the finals against Vipers in the last edition shows it all. We are working hard to prepare a formidable team” Luzige added.
Some of the star players for Busei Football Club include goalkeeper Yusuf Olaga, captain Ayub Kigongo and defensive partner Andrew Okumu, holding midfielder Amudan Mpoola, the offensive midfield duo of Rogers Maganda and Ismail “Pogba” Byavaala.
