Busiro Saza football team has officially unveiled Denis Kiyimba ‘Mulangira’ as their head coach for the upcoming 2025 Masaza Cup tournament. The appointment signals a fresh chapter for the team as they aim to bounce back from their disappointing group stage exit in the 2024 edition.
Kiyimba brings a wealth of experience to the Busiro dugout. A holder of the CAF C coaching licence, he has vast experience in grass root football having previously worked alongside veteran coach Richard Makumbi at Mbarara City during the 2017 FUFA Big League season and again at Nyamityobora in 2020.
His familiarity with the dynamics of the Masaza Cup is also notable, having managed Buwekula Saza between 2016 and 2017 and guiding them to Luwangula Cup glory in 2016.
To bolster their 2025 campaign, Kiyimba will work with a well-rounded and strategically structured technical team. Former Uganda Cranes midfielder Hassan Wasswa Mawanda steps in as the first assistant coach, adding his rich playing experience and leadership to the bench.
Kimuli Robert has been appointed the second assistant coach, while Lukyamuzi Richard takes charge as the trainer.
The goalkeeping department will be under the expert guidance of Bukenya Grace, and the team’s medical needs will be handled by Dr. Batenda Ramadhan.
Busiro is aiming to clinch their second Masaza Cup trophy, a task that demands both tactical discipline and consistent performance from the newly appointed technical team despite facing significant challenges to restore the county’s pride after their 2024 campaign fell short.
