In September this year, Mubiru refused FUFA's offer to take charge of the National Senior Women's Football team, the Crested Cranes.
At KCCA, he will have the immediate task of getting the club from its current ditch, as they currently sit second from the bottom of the league table, having collected just one point in six matches.
