Batamuze, who is currently on the books of Sindiga Fountain Gate FC, played under the Portuguese tactician in the Tanzanian second tier as the side battled to earn promotion to the top flight in 2022 and states that KCCA FC got the right person for the job.

“Coach Sergio is a top coach,” Batambuze told Pulse Sports in an exclusive interview before adding.

“That’s for sure, because I played under him, and he understands the game; if KCCA FC signed him for what we all know them for (passing the ball), then they are spot on.”

Batambuzze however, cautioned that Sergio Moniz Traguil can only deliver if his work is not interfered with, warning that he can even abandon the project.

“The one thing KCCA FC must do, though, is to let the coach do his job else it won’t work. He (Sergio) can’t work with boardroom interference; he has to be the one running the show; that’s why he left Singida United.”

The UEFA Pro license holder earned Singida Big Stars promotion to the top flight in 2022 before he joined Botswana’s Township Rollers.

The thirteen-time league champions confirmed the appointment of the 42-year-old tactician on a two-year deal on 12th June.

He is expected to start work on 1st July alongside his assistant coach, Cuban Luis Manuel Correira Guerreiro and Strength and conditioning coach Eduardo Lazaro Ramon Leiva.

Singida Big Stars and Township Rollers are not the only sides Sergio has managed on the continent; he also had stints with Nigeria’s Kaduna United and Ghana’s Hearts of Oak.
