Former Wakiso Giants head coach John 'Ayala' Luyinda believes the combination of Steven Bengo and Tonny Mawejje will succeed at the Purple Sharks.

Luyinda believes that the combination will keep Wakiso Giants' entertaining football philosophy alive.

"I believe Bengo can carry on the baton. He played at a higher level than me (Luyinda) and played in an attacking position," Luyinda told Monitor Sports.

"Mawejje is a senior player who played over 80 caps for the Uganda Cranes, which gives me confidence that they will do a better job together. Every coach has a starting point and philosophy, this is their time," he added.

Recently announced Wakiso Giants assistant head coach Tonny Mawejje further told Monitor Sports that he equally cherishes free-flowing football.

"As a coach, I cherish free-flowing football that is entertaining. I am a product of the KCCA's 'kawowo football' and also a Mike Mutebi student," he noted.

"The good thing is that it is the same approach that Bengo brings, and he has more experience in coaching than me," he added.

Bengo returns to Wakiso Giants five years after he was appointed the interim manager of the Purple Sharks.

The combination will have a big test to take the club to a greater level after finishing 11th in the concluded Uganda Premier League.
