A significant transition has been confirmed by Uganda Premier League side KCCA FC, with Jackson Magera Kaddu officially appointed as interim head coach. The announcement was made via a statement released on the club’s official website on Friday, April 11, 2025.
The decision follows the mutual agreement reached between the club and former head coach Abdallah Mubiru, resulting in his departure. As part of ongoing structural changes, assistant coach Kefa Kisala’s exit from the club has also been announced.
Magera Steps into the Spotlight
Jackson Magera, previously serving as assistant coach, has been entrusted with leading the Kasasiro Boys for the remainder of the season. Known for his deep understanding of the game and commitment to the club, Magera’s appointment is seen as a strategic move to stabilize the team during this transitional period.
Currently, KCCA FC is positioned sixth on the 16-team Uganda Premier League table, having accumulated 34 points from 22 matches. The team’s inconsistent form has been a challenge, but optimism surrounds Magera’s ability to steer the squad toward a stronger finish.
A Tough Test Awaits
Magera’s tenure as interim head coach will commence with a formidable challenge. On Saturday, April 12, KCCA FC is scheduled to face third-placed BUL FC in a crucial league encounter. The outcome of this match is expected to set the tone for Magera’s leadership and the team’s ambitions for the season.
Structural Changes Signal New Direction
The departure of both Mubiru and Kisala underscores the broader restructuring efforts being undertaken by KCCA FC. While details of the changes remain limited, the club’s statement hints at a commitment to revitalizing the squad and enhancing its competitiveness in the Uganda Premier League.
As the Kasasiro Boys prepare for their next fixture, all eyes will be on Magera to deliver results and inspire a turnaround. With the season still in play, KCCA FC’s journey under new leadership is poised to be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
