Byekwaso, who left KCCA earlier this year, has reportedly held discussions with Villa President Omar Mandela regarding the club's search for a new coaching staff.
Former KCCA FC coach Morley Byekwaso has emerged as a candidate for a coaching position at SC Villa.
Byekwaso, who left KCCA earlier this year, has reportedly held discussions with Villa President Omar Mandela regarding the club's search for a new coaching staff.
SC Villa, one of Uganda's most successful football clubs, is determined to maintain its competitiveness and make necessary changes to its technical staff after a disappointing end to the season.
The club decided not to extend the contracts of former coaches Jackson Magera and Ibrahim Kirya, who had come agonizingly close to securing the team's first league title in 20 years.
Despite their remarkable efforts, Magera and Kirya fell short of glory after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to URA FC on the final day of the season.
This heart-breaking loss prompted Villa's management to reassess the coaching setup.
With Magera and Kirya on the way out, the Jogoo seek a fresh coaching set up that can build on the success of the duo.
Mandela, renowned for his commitment to SC Villa's success, has been actively involved in the search for the new staff that can build on the success of both Kirya and Magera.
Byekwaso's name has surfaced among the potential candidates for a coaching role at SC Villa.
The former KCCA coach's reputation and his previous association with Villa have undoubtedly played a role in his consideration.
Although the specific position that Byekwaso would fill within the Villa staff remains undisclosed, initial talks between him and the club have reportedly been positive.
Villa's decision to approach Byekwaso suggests that they believe in his abilities to contribute to the team's resurgence.
Byekwaso's departure from KCCA earlier this year was marred by a series of disappointing results, with fans sensationally turning against him.
The team's exit from the Stanbic Uganda Cup following a defeat to Soltilo Bright Stars marked the lowest point of his time at Lugogo, eventually cementing his decision to resign.
However, it seems that SC Villa values his experience, knowledge, and potential to make a difference within the club.
