“I’m excited about the project, the quality of the lads and the challenge to build onto the already booming club image. I and my technical team bring lots of experiences and lessons – coupled with our commitment and determination.” Reads Bamweyana’s statement.
“Our most ardent target is to help our players develop into the best version of themselves individually and as a group to help foster the club’s objectives.”
“In the long run, we should certainly look to challenge on all fronts for honours within 3 years.”
“The entire purple family should expect an attractive, creative and daring style of football – and lots of good times. But it goes without saying: a great dish takes time to prepare.”
“As a club, we are delighted to have Bamweyana as our new head coach. He knows our expectations and those of our dear fans and we are optimistic he can play a lead role to take the club to another level.” Club CEO Sula Kamoga.
