He won three, lost three and drew five.<\/p>\n<p>They lie fifth in the topflight table on 37 points, 13 behind leaders Kiyovu with seven games to play in the season.<\/p>\n<p>The former KCCA, SC Villa and Uganda Cranes coach was sacked yesterday following a coup by players, reports from Kigali indicate.<\/p>\n<p>A source told Daily Monitor that players found his language unwelcoming. \u201cAS Kigali are full of Rwanda league\u2019s best players,\u201d the source wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor your information, players are the main reason for his sacking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause he under looked them; saying they run like chicken and other many impolite words in the post-match press conferences,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Disparaging remarks<\/p>\n<p>Such language has been commonplace with Mutebi throughout his time as a coach stretching back to the mid-90s.<\/p>\n<p>Describing players as \u2018people who don\u2019t understand the game\u2019 is an off-cuff statement for him. In addition, he would say \u2018many players run like headless chicken\u2019 or \u2018need an education on the game\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Mutebi and his assistant Jackson Mayanja only joined AS Kigali in January on a two-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, AS Kigali were fourth on the log log with 20 points, five adrift of Kiyovu after 12 games.<\/p>\n<p>The standards have since fallen as both parties failed to adjust quickly to each other\u2019s methods, and language.<\/p>\n<p>AS Kigali, who yesterday announced the appointment of Andre Cassa Mbungo as Mutebi\u2019s replacement, said in a statement that it was with \u201cregret\u201d that they had reached the difficult decision.<\/p>\n<p>Sharp tongue. AS Kigali relieved Mutebi and his assistant Mayanja of their duties yesterday. PHOTO\/JOHN BATANUDDE<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the past few weeks have been disappointing,\u201d the club said of the sacking that came after Mutebi\u2019s charges fell to a 1-0 defeat to Rayon Sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should not obscure all the work he has done over the past months to rebuild the foundations for long-term success,\u201d the club added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe thank him and his assistant for the Work they have done with the club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mirror at KCCA<\/p>\n<p>When Mutebi was sacked by KCCA in March 2021, he took a sabbatical although there were quite a number of teams interested in his services.<\/p>\n<p>The 52-year-old would go on to describe people at KCCA as \u2018persons who know zero about football.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they feel like good riddance then I wish them the same,\u201d Mutebi was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are people who always want to act smart because every time there is success, everyone wants to own it and we have had those individuals who want to attract all the attention which is not right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I cannot allow someone to overstep boundaries and try to influence my technical decisions, that\u2019s impossible. Because some of those people know zero football and do not understand the technical bit of affairs,\u201d he fumed.<\/p>\n<p>However, his six-year spell at the Lugogo-based side is his best. There, he won four league titles, two Uganda Cups and a regional Cecafa trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Mutebi leaves behind Emmanuel Okwi and Muzamil Mutyaba, who play for Kiyovu, and Musa Esenu at Rayon Sport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
