Police Football Club has parted ways with head coach Abdallah Mubiru following dismal performances in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.

The Cops have had a tough campaign and with five games to the end of the season, Police FC are engaged in the relegation battle as they sit in 13th place with 24 points.

In a statement released by the Club CEO, Red. CP Arinaitwe PK, coach Mubiru will no longer be in charge of the club and his assistant John Luyinda takes over in the interim.

“The board of the Police Football Club has taken full analysis of the current performance of the team. At the beginning of the season, the ambition and hopes of the club were to win the Uganda Premier League title. As the season progressed these hopes were dashed

“Currently, the hopes are to stay in the top flight of Uganda’s football. However recent performances appear to indicate that even this hope may not be realized unless drastic steps are taken to address the situation.

“It’s against this background that the board has appointed coach John Luyinda as acting head coach. These changes take immediate effect. Meanwhile, the club will continue to discuss with Mr. Abdallah Mubiru to agree on the way forward for the future of both parties,” reads the statement.

Mubiru replaced Sam Timbe at the club in 2016.
