Stanbic Uganda Cup holders BUL FC’s search for a new head is now well underway.
Swift Sports Uganda understands BUL are stepping up their search for a new head coach and that Arua Hill head coach Livingstone Mbabazi was interviewed earlier last week.
According to sources Mbabazi is the front-runner for the position and there has been positive noise surrounding him regarding the role. He is under contract at Arua Hill.
Mike Mutebi, Wasswa Bbosa & Livingstone Mbabazi are the 3 coaches that have been internally discussed at BUL FC recently. However, Mutebi is deemed "expensive" and "too principled" for the job.
