Why coach Lukyamuzi ‘skills’ quit his job after promoting NEC

Newly promoted StarTimes Uganda Premier League side NEC FC will embark on a new search for a head coach after Michael Lukyamuzi quit.

Commonly known as ‘Skills’, Lukyamuzi announced his departure from the club on Monday night in an emotional farewell.

According to the coach, his qualifications don’t meet FUFA’s minimum requirements of a CAF A or B diploma.

“I’m happy to have led the team to promotion but, unfortunately, I don’t possess the CAF A license,” he confirmed to Pulse Sports.

“It’s important that the club gets a new coach who is qualified in time to prepare for the new season.

Conflict

Asked why he doesn’t hold on and support the new coach, he said:

“It’s better to allow the incoming coach his freedom to work because we might clash in roles.

“Every coach comes with his own philosophy and direction that he wants the team to take, so it’s better he comes with the people he feels will do that,” he summed up.

Lukyamuzi will now return to his Masaka City Soccer Academy to groom more players as he figures out his next move
