FOOTBALL Who will land the head coach job at URA FC?
The Tax Collectors will start the new season in an away clash with UPDF FC at the Bombo Military Barracks Grounds on September 15, but the biggest question at the moment is, who will be the coach when that time comes?
“We want to give back to our coach, to our fallen coach, Sam Timbe. We want to give all our best, we are going to put everything tomorrow so that we get the win. We shall actually dedicate it to him,” Lubwama revealed.
“It’s going to be a do-or-die game for us. We are going to give in our all so that we get the three points and then qualify to the next stage.”
URA have enjoyed clashes with KCCA FC in the last ten meetings, winning six times and drawing twice. They will be confident going into the tie and now have extra motivation to win.
