Ssempigi will be deputized by Frank Kisitu Ssebagala, who comes in as a direct replacement for Ahmed Borini, who exited the club at the end of last week.

Uganda Women's Football team legend Oliver Mbekeka has been made Fitness Coach, with Umar Ddumba joining in as the Youth Coach.

Richard Lukyamuzi will serve as the goalkeeping coach, while Sadick Akii Mohammed, Drake Lule and Tonny Ssenabulya will be the Team Doctor, Physiotherapist and Match Analyst, respectively.

Arua Hill has recently announced Brendah Nyamwiza and Hassan Mugerwa Takoowa as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, respectively.

The club's troubles have seen them lose several players, including Gadafi Wahab, Geriga Atendele, and Richard Anyama, among others.

It all started after owner Joel Jaffer Aita withdrew further investment into the club,  which led to serious financial difficulties.

Arua Hill was threatened with being thrown out of the league and is yet to appear on the Uganda Premier League fixture for the Second Round.

They finished the campaign's First half at the base with five points after 15 matches.

They were also eliminated from the Stanbic Uganda Cup in the Round of 64 after being thrashed 3-0 by the lower-ranked Nsambya FC.
