Meanwhile, according to Mutebi, this is a special opportunity for the two coaches especially during this time when they are out of jobs.
“We are out of jobs but we are special, this is a good intervention to sell players, for the last ten years we have failed to nurture young players,” Mutebi said.
According to Isma Lule, the Brand Marketing and director StarTimes they zeroed down on Ssimbwa and Mutebi after wide consultations from the league legends.
