STARS ABROAD Facilities, respecting players’ values will propel the Ugandan league – Batambuze
The 29-year-old roving left-back who features for Tanzanian money bags Singida Fountain Gate FC explains that the StarTimes Uganda Premier League has moderately improved over the years.
According to the former Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows head coach through a lengthy statement shared on social media, the drama started last Friday after Singida's 1-0 CAF Confederation Cup second preliminary round first-leg win against Egypt's Future FC in Dar-es-Salaam.
The club hierarchy called for a meeting highlighting many issues, including questioning Middendorp why the club only won by the 1-0 scoreline and why some players didn't make the starting lineup.
They also demanded the reinstatement of a former assistant head coach, believed to be Matia Lule, who served in the same capacity under former head coach Hans van der Pluijm.

The club is home to two Uganda Cranes internationals, right-back Nicholas Wadada and left-back Shafik Batambuze. Until recently, former URA FC goalkeeper coach Steven Billy Kiggundu held the same role at the club but left unceremoniously.
With the team lacking a head coach and Matia Lule lurking in the background, the former Uganda Cranes and Express FC head coach could take temporary charge, which was before Middendorp came in.

Singida Fountain Gate has managed two points in as many games and sits 12th on the log.
