Kitara football club’s Brian Ssenyondo has been named Pilsner coach of the Month of September/ October .
He picked his plaque and cash at Kati Kati Restaurant in Kampala on Wednesday evening.
” I’m so humbled by this award, we thank Pilsner and the Uganda premier league for recognizing our work. I’m here alone but would have loved be in the company of my entire team. This was a collective effort of the fans, backroom staff, the players, my coaching staff, the club CEO and the club president. We won this together,” Ssenyondo said upon receiving the award .
The boss came out on top of the voting after guiding us to five wins from five during the period of September and October collecting the maximum 15 points from our matches against SC Villa, UPDF, Gaddafi FC, KCCA and Wakiso Giants.
That saw him edge out fellow coaches Abbey Kikomeko and Hussein Mbalangu of BUL and NEC FC respectively to win this award for the first time in his top flight coaching career.
The Royals and BUL collected 15 points apiece from the opening five matches though Ssenyondo’s side topped the table standings on a superior goal difference.
Meanwhile, our striker Denis Omedi was also nominated in the player of the month of September/ October category but lost out to BUL’s Alex Kitata.
