Sports Club Villa unveiled Deo Sserwadda as a new head coach at Jevine Hotel in Ndeeba on Sunday 26 June 2016.

The former SC Villa who won the league in 2006 and the Uganda Cup in 2005 with Uganda Revenue Authority replaces Ibrahim Kirya as the new head coach.

The CAF B license holder signed a two-year contract with a promise of bringing the glories days back to SC Villa.

Club President Eng. Immanuel Ben Misagga explained the reason behind replacing Kirya who guided Villa to a fourth place finish last season and the Uganda Cup triumph in 2015.

“The main reason for replacing Kirya is lack of qualification and thus had to make a cost effective decision,” he said.

Misagga added: “Unlike the rest, sserwadda won the league with Uganda Revenue Authority and also the Uganda cup and we want to win trophies.”

Sserwada stated how he was pleased to be back and assured fans of doing the job well.

“First of all, am glad to be back home,” he stated. “I thank the executive for trusting me with this job and I assure you, am going to do the job wholeheartedly and with the backing of all stakeholders, am confident of doing the job”, Sserwada added.

Sserwadda  who used to play left back and featured greatly during SC Villa’s dominant period of 1998-2004 becomes the club’s sixth coach in three years since Misagga took charge.

He has  been coaching First Division side Police Mobile and Kyambogo University and will be assisted by Shafik Bisaso and Christopher Robo
