Ayiekoh left Simba Queens last week, after eight months in charge of the club, where he guided them to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League.
Kampala Queens could reportedly turn to former Simba Queens coach Charles Ayiekoh, to replace the departing Hamza Lutalo.
Ayiekoh, recently returned to the country after leaving Simba Queens, and has also been linked to the vacant role of head coach of the Crested Cranes.
Brian Ssenyondo and Ayub Khalifah were among the candidates who have been famously linked to the job, but Ayiekoh has now emerged as the more likely option.
Ssenyondo is out of running for the job after he was unveiled as the new head coach of newly promoted side Kitara FC in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
The rumours on the Khalifah front have also lost steam in recent weeks, with the Kawempe Muslim coach reported to be unwilling to take charge, after he was named as the head coach of the Uganda U20 women’s side.
Ayiekoh left Simba Queens last week, after eight months in charge of the club, where he guided them to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League.
The former She Corporates coach fell short of winning the Serengeti Women's Premier League last season as JKT Queens claimed the title on 46 points, one ahead of second placed Simba Queens.
Lutalo ended his two-year reign at Kampala Queens after delivering the club's only league championship which they scooped in the preceding 2022/23 season.
They managed the feat in incredible style, having won 15 of the 18 games of the season, suffering defeat just once.
The Moses Magogo owned club have a huge task ahead, as they hope to make a strong mark in the forthcoming CECAFA Champions League Zonal Qualifiers, slated for August in Uganda.
Kampala Queens stepped up their preparations for the qualifiers by announcing a three-year partnership with top division side KCCA FC.
The agreement entails Kampala Queens becoming the exclusive women's football team for KCCA FC, while the latter will serve as the sole men's team for the Queens in all official competitions.
Throughout the partnership, Kampala Queens FC will maintain its distinct brand identity, although the team will now call MTN Omondi Stadium its official home ground.
