As the Masaza Cup draws closer, Kyaggwe County has unveiled a new technical team to guide the side into the highly anticipated 2026 season, igniting fresh hope among supporters eager for a historic breakthrough.
The unveiling ceremony, held at the county headquarters in Mukono Municipality, attracted local leaders, club officials, and a large turnout of passionate fans, all keen to witness the beginning of a new chapter in Kyaggwe’s football journey.
During the event, Second Deputy Ssekiboobo Fred Katende officially introduced Ssali Ronald popularly known as “Muzukkulu wa Mugema” as the county’s new head coach.
Ssali replaces Simon Peter Mugerwa, who was relieved of his duties after a one-season stint that ended in a quarterfinal exit.
Speaking after his unveiling, Ssali expressed confidence in his ability to transform the team’s fortunes, pledging to guide Kyaggwe to its first-ever Masaza Cup title since the tournament’s inception in 2004.
He noted that his experience within Uganda’s football circles gives him the tools needed to deliver results.
“I understand the expectations of the people of Kyaggwe, and I am ready to work with the players and the entire technical team to achieve success,” Ssali said. “This is a challenge I embrace with confidence, not pressure.”
Kyaggwe County Chief (Ssekiboobo) Vicent Matovu Bintubizibu challenged the new technical bench to rise to the occasion and end years of disappointment.
He urged them to prioritize discipline, teamwork, and commitment as preparations for the competition intensify.
“Our fans have waited long enough. This is the time to wipe away their tears and bring the trophy home,” he said, while rallying supporters to stand firmly behind the team throughout the campaign.
Team leadership, including Chairman Jonathan Ntulume and Jimmy Kanabi, reassured fans that preparations are progressing well and that the squad will be fully ready when the tournament kicks off.
The announcement has sparked renewed optimism among Kyaggwe supporters, many of whom now believe the team can mount a serious challenge under the new technical setup.
