The team aims at promotion to the Uganda Premier League in the forthcoming season.
His stay at Gadaffi was short-lived, as he only joined them in January, albeit contributing to five clean sheets in the seven games he played.
Before his stint with Gadaffi, Kiyemba enjoyed a spell at Kyetume FC, guiding them to promotion back to the Uganda Premier League in 2022.
He has also previously featured for Mbarara City FC in the Uganda Premier League and Lungujja Galaxy in the Third Division.
The club has made over ten signings, including Samuel Ssemugugu, Freedom Mungudit, Ronald Ssempala and Alvin Birungi.
They have also acquired James Okiror, Abraham Opio, Solomon Okodi, Mubarak Mitala, Andrew Odong and Samuel Nsubuga.
Last season in the Big League, Lugazi finished a respectable fifth, having garnered 44 points in 30 games, and feels topflight football is an achievable target next campaign.
