Embattled Express Football Club head coach Douglas Bamwenyana has resigned his position at the club christened as “Mukwano G’wa Bangi”.
Bamwenyana, also the president of Uganda Society for Sports Science and Physical Education (USSSPE) confirmed the development to Kawowo Sports on Thursday.
In an interview with Kawowo Sports, the CAF A licenced coach stated;
It is painful that i leave the Express Football Club head coach position.
The development comes in the aftermath of the club’s 5th loss of the campaign in 10 matches played thus far.
During the latest game played on Wednesday, the Red Eagles fell 2-1 to newly promoted Masavu at their home ground, Muteesa II Wankulukuku stadium.
He cites in-fighting from players, club administrators and a section of fans.
“You can not work in such an environment where a section of people do not appreciate your services” Bamweyana explained.
“Take an example in the game against Masavu, i told some players to warm up and refused because they were under influence from some officials” he added.
Bamweyana took over the management of the club at the very start of the season when Mathias Lule threw in the towel over administrative hitches.
During his era as Express head coach, Bamweyana has handled the club in 9 matches, losing 5 times as well as drawing and losing twice apiece.
The Red Eagles under Bamweyana have lost to Mbarara (away) UPDF (away), Onduparaka (home), BUL (away) and lately Masavu (home).
They won 2-0 against Maroons and Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) 1-0.
The three draws have come against Kirinya-Jinja S.S and Bright Stars.
Tentatively, Mujabi and club legend Hassan Mubiru have been appointed as interim coaches.
Express makes the short visit across town to play Proline this Saturday.
