Kitara FC head coach Brian Ssenyondo has announced a new leadership team that he will be looking to guide his side this season with Maxwell Owachigiu as the captain.
Long-standing star and defender Owachigiu retains the arm band which he has held.
The center back will for the second season in the Uganda premier league lead his teammates, already having plenty of experience as a captain when the Royals first played in the top flight during the 2020/21 season.
Owachigiu who joined Kitara from Boma Young FC is the longest serving skipper among the 16 teams that will be competing in the 2023/24 top flight league.
He has held the role since the 2017/18 campaign after replacing Timothy Kato Adyeri who is now the deputy club chief executive officer.
Our January signing Paul Mucureezi will be Maxwell’s first vice captain.
The midfielder wore the armband on many occasions during his days at Mutundwe Lions and Uganda Christian University.
The second and third assistants will be left back Jasper Aheebwa Baguma and Paddy Muhumuza who also held the same positions last season.
Ssenyondo explained the choice of the skippers.
” The quartet is exemplary and has good characters that will bring harmony, excellence as well as team work and help the club achieve progress and success”
The Royals are currently enjoying their pre season preparations as they steel themselves for the forthcoming rigorous football season.
Kitara 2023/24 Captains:
First Captain: Maxwell Owachigiu
