Before even Harunah Kebba could jump out of the Taxi that was taking him away from Namboole after being sacked as The Saints head coach yesterday, the league debutants have appointed George ‘Best’ Nsimbe as their new manager.
The ex-KCCA, Victors and Azam FC tutor has been on the Saints’ trail since being relieved of his duties at Azam fc even after they won the 2015 CECAFA Kagame Cup that was in Tanzania.
The development was confirmed through the Club’s official Facebook page. “George Best Nsimbe has been unveiled The Saints Head Coach effective September 25th 2015,” they wrote, before adding that the details of his appointment will be revealed soon. However, sources close to him suggest that he has signed a one year contract with the Namanve based club.
Nsimbe’s experience isn’t questionable in Ugandan football having led KCCA FC to three league titles.
His first game in charge will be against bottom side Maroons FC on Saturday, October 3rd.
George ‘Best’ Nsimbe’s profile according to Kawowo:
He was born on December 29, 1966 to Kenyan father Richard Siambe and got the name Nsimbe from Paul Nsimbe who raised him. He previously played football for Wandegeya, NIC and KCC FC which he joined in 1985.
As a player, Nsimbe won league titles in 1985 and 1991 plus three Uganda Cups in 1987, 1990 and 1993.
He also won two CECAFA Senior Challenge titles with Uganda Cranes in 1989 & 1990. As a coach, he has won three league titles with KCC FC in 2007/08, 2012/13 & 2013/14.
He also boasts of one Uganda Cup crown which he won with Victors FC in 2010. He has coached KCC FC, Victors FC, Fire Masters and Azam FC.
