NEC FC dismissed head coach Hussein Mbalangu and named Kaddu Badru Mukasa as his replacement on Wednesday, just six matches into the Uganda Premier League season. The Bugolobi club cited Mbalangu's unprofessional behavior, specifically his participation with Singo Ssaza during the Masaza Cup competition, as violating team policies. Mbalangu had faced a prior two-month suspension after a tie against Police FC.
Mukasa, previously with Express FC, signed a three-year agreement with NEC. He led his former team to a decisive 4 1 win over Mbarara City last weekend. Club officials praised Mukasa's strategic approach and success record, expressing confidence that he would strengthen the Die Hards immediately. His initial challenge arrives next week when NEC faces SC Villa in league action. The coaching change followed an official announcement shared on NEC's social media accounts on Wednesday night.
