Maroons Football Club confirms Ayiekho Lukula as head coach
Charles Ayiekho “”Mbuzzi Lukula will manage Maroons Football Club for the remainder of the season in the 2019-2020 Uganda Premier League.
This was after the CAF “A” certified tactician was confirmed by management of the Uganda Prisons funded club as the best candidate, narrowly beating former BUL head coach Peter Onen to the job.
“I am delighted to have got the Maroons Football Club head coach job. With confidence, I will work with the available players to save the club from relegation” he noted.
Ayiekho starts immediate work following the sacking of former coach Douglas Bamweyana, his assistant and the club Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for poor performance.
“I have worked with some of the players available at the club and confident that we shall do the job (saving the club from relegation)” he added.
Ayiekoh has been unemployed for a lengthy time following his mutual consent termination of contract with Jinja based Busoga United.
Since leaving Busoga United, Ayiekoh has been part-timing as a TV analyst for live Uganda Premier League matches at the same time coaching Makerere University Business School (MUBS) in the national beach soccer league and University Football Club.
He comes forth to Maroons with vast experience having also previously handled Bunamwaya (now Vipers), Police, Nyamityobora, Soana (now Tooro United), the Uganda U-23 national team (assistant coach to Richard Wasswa Bbosa), Busoga Province team (FUFA Drum competition) and lately Busoga United.
Maroons has a mountain task to climb as they sit in the relegation zone with only 24 points from 25 matches.
Five games remain prior to the climax of the season as the Prison Warders find themselves in “must-win” situations to survive the axe.
“The five games are manageable and I will work with the players for the best positive results” he confidently oozes.
Ayiekho will be officially unveiled on Tuesday, 10th March 2020.
Besides the five games in the Uganda Premier League, Maroons is also still active in the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
The 1965 funded club will play at the round of 16 stage against fellow UPL entity Kyetume at the Mighty Arena this Friday.
