The former KCCA tactician worked as an assistant in his first season under Dusan Stojanovic as Villa ended a 20-year wait for the elusive record-extending title 17 before he took over as head coach last season.

At the moment, Byekwaso is occupied with a national team role as he was appointed alongside Vipers’ Fred Muhumuza to manage the Uganda Cranes CHAN team.
