SIMBA FC’s good start to the Uganda Super League has forced Cranes techinical bench to consider recalling coach Ssimbwa to the national team as an assistant to Robert Williamson.
Following the departure of Sam Timbe who moved to Rwandan side ATRACO FC, the techinical committee are debating the possibility of either Ssimbwa or Kobs coach Jackson Mayanja returning. They were both sacked just over two months back.
A source in FUFA confirmed yesterday that the federation was toying with the idea of bringing back one of the two former KCC FC players.
FUFA vice president technical Asuman Lubowa could neither confirm nor deny the debate. “We need an assistant coach but I can’t tell you who he is now. We are waiting for Williamson to return and we shall involve him to pick one," Lubowa said.
Cranes head coach Williamson returns tomorrow from Scotland where he had gone to attend his father’s funeral.
FUFA sacked Mayanja and Ssimbwa as assistant coaches to former Cranes tactician Laszlo Csaba in August following constant disagreements between the retired national team players.
Mayanja and Ssimbwa accused each other of seeking personal favours from Csaba during the Cranes 2010 World and Nations Cup qualifiers against Angola and Niger at Namboole.
But they remain immediate options ahead of URA FC's Moses Basena, clubless former Cranes coaches Mike Mutebi and Frank ‘Video' Anyau to replace Timbe. Ssimbwa's Simba FC leads the league table while Mayanja's Bunamwaya lie mid-table.
