This is not to say that Mbabazi hasn't had his past misdeeds; like everyone, he concedes to an unpleasant past, yet he also believes he has since turned the clock.
Arua Hill SC head coach Charles Livingstone Mbabazi has often unjustly been adjudged by a section of the football faithful for his conduct on and off the pitch.
Vocal on the touchline and off it; passion and candidness judged for indiscipline, as well as a strong love for the game misinterpreted for feebleness and unrestraint.
This is not to say that Mbabazi hasn't had his past misdeeds; like everyone, he concedes to an unpleasant past, yet he also believes he has since turned the clock.
"What annoys me is people still use my past mistakes to judge my present," Mbabazi opened up in an interview with Pulse Sports.

FOOTBALL Coach Livingstone Mbabazi claims Arua Hill ownership, lists club for sale
Mbabazi, who has stated he took over as the majority shareholder, has subsequently put the club on the market for a worthy buyer, who will come in handy as a solution to the current financial woes.
"I had my own personal issues then that affected me, but people grow, and everyone eventually matures and turns into a better person."
"But everyone uses the past and always refers to the lifestyle I led then, but I am a better person; everyone has past mistakes."
Besides the bias on his lifestyle, Mbabazi has also been slated for being a certified mover who doesn't settle in a job.
Mbabazi has had short stints in his previous jobs at Mbarara City FC (twice), Soltilo Bright Stars FC, Somalia National team, Wakiso Giants FC, Lweza, Onduparaka FC (twice) and Kyetume FC.

FOOTBALL World Cup Qualifiers: Uganda Cranes edge ten-man Somalia for coach Paul Put's first win
Rogers Mato's early goal as enough to not only sink the Somalis but also hand Cranes head coach Paul Put his first win since taking charge less than a month back.
"People have always talked ill about me being a journeyman, but the past employments were not good, and I didn't have any other choices. People abuse, but you leave anyway," he added.
However, Mbabazi has managed to stay put in his current role for over two years, with this being his third season.
"But with Arua Hill, the first months were good until it changed, but I stayed, fearing people would abuse me, and I fought on. I could have left after the first season."
"But, for whatever people say, at the end of the day, I have a family, and it's hard; that's why we need a buyer (for Arua Hill)."
Mbabazi, who also asserted he is the majority shareholder of Arua Hill, has listed the club for sale to override their recent financial struggles.
