This adds to the trail of players and officials that face the exit door through phone calls and WhatsApp, including Yasser Mugerwa and former deputy head coach Charles Ssenyange Nsanziro alias 'Kadidi'.

Thirteen-time Uganda Premier League champions KCCA FC and the duo of captain, Benjamin Ochan and Geoffrey Wasswa have moved separate ways.

A trusted source at the MTN Omondi Stadium, Lugogo has confirmed the pair have left the club and were apparently, informed on a phone call by one of the top administrators.

Ochan and Wasswa were told they were not part of the club's plans for the forthcoming season, and the pair subsequently said their respective farewells to the players on their WhatsApp group forum.

It will definitely hit hard, especially for Ochan, who was in his third stint at Lugogo, having returned at the start of the 2021/22 campaign.

The veteran goalkeeper first featured for the Kasasiro Boys between 2008 to 2009, returned in 2015-2018 before the most recent spell.

In there, Ochan played in South Africa at Bloemfontein Celtic, Kabwe Warriors in Zambia and AFC Leopards in Kenya, as well as SC Villa and Victoria University.

On the other hand, Wasswa also joined KCCA in 2021 under Morley Byekwaso on a two-year contract, but will leaves with two months left, as his was slated to expire in October.

It is uncertain whether the club and the player have an agreement of compensation for the remainder of his contract (two months).
