On Tuesday, Villa confirmed the appointment of Isaac Mwesigwa as their new chief executive, replacing club legend William Nkemba.
SC Villa Executive Committee remains committed to ensuring the club returns to the top echelon of Ugandan football, by announcing an upheaval of the club’s management committee.
On Tuesday, Villa confirmed the appointment of Isaac Mwesigwa as their new chief executive, replacing club legend William Nkemba.
The changes also saw first team manager Sulait Makumbi leave after less than a year in his role, and will be replaced by John Paul Kasozi.
The Jogoo, who finished second in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League last season, have also named Serbian Dusan Stojanovic as their new head coach.
Stojanovic’s appointment was confirmed on Tuesday, penning a two year contract, together with his assistant who will also serve as the club’s head of youth development Morley Byekwaso.
“It is an exciting and challenging role,” Mwesigwa told media, adding “As you all know, Villa is the best club in the country, and therefore they deserve the best.”
“We hope that the support of management and all the stakeholders especially the fans, we want to take the club forward. This is a long-term success, and we hope we can win together.”
“The aim is to build a sustainable Villa. Not just win and then struggle. It means win and keep on winning, stay at the top and then aim to be the best in Africa,” Mwesigwa continued.
Mwesigwa, a seasoned executive, joins the Jogoo after leaving arch rivals Express FC following the end of his three year reign at the club.
Mwesigwa oversaw a successful period at the club, helping them win their seventh league title, as well as securing the club’s first ever CECAFA Club title.
SC Villa senior vice-president Daniel Bakaki showed enthusiasm towards the appointments and changes made by the club, labelling them as one that were made to lead the club to the next level.
“This new direction did not start now. It began last season when the new executive under Hajji Omar Mandela took over the management of the club,” Bakaki declared while speaking to media at the club’s head offices in Kampala.
“The changes are part of the ongoing restructuring process, because we are looking forward to the new season, and we want to build on the progress made last season.”
“We had a terrible end to last season, but it is a season that brought to light specific weaknesses within the club. We faced challenges like hooliganism that eventually affected our charge for the title.”
“I need to note that we have decided not to renew the contracts of our coaches. The change is not influenced by their performance, but because we need to advance to the next level,” he added.
