Sam Ssimbwa has emerged as the leading candidate and favourite to become KCCA FC’s new permanent head coach, with an initial agreement reportedly struck between the two.

FOOTBALL Sergio Traguil: KCCA sack head coach after just four months
Thirteen-time Uganda Premier League champions KCCA FC have confirmed partying ways with head coach Sergio Daniel Moniz Traguil, after just four months in the job.
Ssimbwa will be returning to take charge at Lugogo for the fourth time in his coaching career. His previous stint at the club though ended in absolute chaos.
Ssimbwa, who served as assistant to Mike Mutebi, was relieved of his duties in April 2016, after an audio circulated in the media with his voice stating that he ‘can bribe referees to win his club matches if he wanted to’.
Ssimbwa’s first appointment at KCCA was in 2002, and again in 2009. His last coaching appointment was at Kitara FC, who he helped guide to promotion to the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
