Kizito resigns as first assistant coach at Gomba Lions prior to 2026 Buganda Masaza Cup season
Before even the first ball has been kicked in this year’s Buganda Masaza Cup, the pressure and tension is being felt.
Alex Kizito, who has been working as first assistant at the record champions Gomba Lions has tendered in his resignation.
Kizito cites ill-professionalism as the key lead to the tough decision taken.
I wish to formally resign from position as first assistant coach of Gomba Lions, effective immediately. The decision has not been easy. However, due to unresolved matters regarding my contract and some differences in how professional issues have been handled. I believe it is best for both parties that I step down at this time. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the players, technical team and management. I learned a lot during my time here and I value the experience. I remain available to offer such a smooth handover and I wish the club continued success in the seasons ahead.
Alex Kizito, football coach
He leaves behind head coach Felix Kawooya Ssekabuuza, Davis Nnono Ssozi (assistant), Lawrence Ndugga (team trainer) and Reagan Lule (goalkeeping coach).
