As the Kasasiro Boys go in search of their first piece of silverware since 2019, KCCA has decided to break tradition in the appointment of their technical staff, looking outside rather than working with former players.
"Because as a football club, we need someone who is not only going to coach but also manage matters of the technical team."
"Mike (Mutebi) gave us that, we thought we would get the same from Morley (Byekwaso), but it didn't happen," Ssekajja added.
The club also confirmed their entire technical team on Thursday morning; Sergio comes with Luis Manuel Correira as his assistant.
