Brian Ssenyondo has resigned at UPDF ahead of his impending move to Kampala Queens in the FUFA Women's Elite League.
UPDF FC’s head coach Brian Ssenyondo has resigned from his post at the club just days after reports emerged that he was joining Kampala Queens.
In a short, scrappy letter, the coach did not give his reasons for the resignation but wished the club the best.
“Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from my position as head coach of UPDF FC, Effective from today, [July] 14th July 2023,” Ssenyondo wrote on Wednesday morning.

REPORTS Kampala Queens offers Mawejje first major coaching role
Mawejje has in the recent past enrolled for a CAF 'C' coaching licence, with the aim of adding to his already vast footballing knowledge.
“Please let me know how I can help during the transition period,” he added without explaining further.
Ssenyondo joined UPDF on July 11th 2021, on a two-year contract that expires next month.
The soldiers have struggled under his leadership, finishing 10th with 37 points in his first season and then escaping relegation by two points in the concluded season.
He is reported to have agreed to a deal to join the Uganda Women champions ahead of their CECAFA and continental assignment.

OTHER SPORTS Women are playing much better football – Magogo
Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) president Moses Magogo says women are now playing much better football than their male counterparts.
Ssenyondo shot into fame in 2018 when, against all odds, took Synergy FC to the semifinals of the Uganda Cup, losing to eventual winners KCCA FC.
He moved to Mbarara City in July 2019 and managed for over a year-and-a-half before parting ways bitterly in February 2021.
The soft-spoken coach is famous for building youngsters, but if he completes his move to Kampala Queens, he will face a new challenge to manage a team filled with players from the Uganda Crested Cranes.
