"Alongside him, his first assistant Peter Byaruhanga Adyeri and fitness coach Kawa have also left the club."

After just five months in the job with four-time Uganda Premier League champions URA FC, head coach David Obua has left the club, by mutual consent, as per the official statement.

The Tax Collectors have moved separate ways with the Uganda Cranes legend, after just 20 games on the touchline.

"After careful consideration and mutual agreement, URA FC and Head Coach David Obua have decided to part ways, terminating his one-year contract five months into his tenure," URA confirmed in a statement.

"Alongside him, his first assistant Peter Byaruhanga Adyeri and fitness coach Kawa have also left the club."

"Robert Mukasa will assume the role of caretaker coach for the rest of the season, supported by Ilic Milosh, Allan Owiny, Robert Ssentongo, and Goalkeeping Coach Swaibu Ssebagala."

Obua has been in charge of 20 games across all competitions, and has accumulated just eight victories.

URA, under the former Kaizer Chiefs star, has lost a whooping eight times and managed four stalemates.

In the Uganda Premier League, under Obua, URA have won six times, drawn seven and lost four in 17 matches.

They sit ninth on the 16-team log with 31 points in 23 matches, and crashed out of the Stanbic Uganda Cup at the hands of KCCA FC weeks back.

URA's next game is five days away on April 16 against title challengers NEC FC in the UPL.
