Mbarara City FC has today, Monday June 17th 2024 officially announced the appointment of Charles Livingstone Mbabazi as their new head coach.
The experienced tactician, who has a CAF B coaching licence, has signed a two-year contract with the Ankole Lions, marking his third stint with the club.
The club, in their announcement made on their official X platform on Monday afternoon, expressed their delight at Mbabazi’s return. “We are delighted to announce the appointment of Charles Livingstone Mbabazi as our new Head Coach on a 2-year contract,” the club stated.
Mbabazi’s most recent role was at Vipers SC, where he was sacked in April of this year after just four months in charge.
Prior to that, he was at Arua Hill, where he served as both the head coach and a majority shareholder during the 2021/22 and 2022/23 campaigns.
Mbabazi, who has an extensive coaching career, previously managed Mbarara City between 2018-2019 and in 2021. His vast experience includes stints at Onduparaka, Soltilo Bright Stars, Masavu, and Lweza, as well as a spell with the Somalia National Team.
The appointment of Mbabazi comes as the Ankole Lions, who finished 11th on last season’s StarTimes Uganda Premier League log, look to build on their past successes and achieve new heights in the upcoming season.
