KCCA FC co-head coach Jackson Magera was quick to credit his players following their crucial derby victory against rivals Express, emphasizing that their game management was key in the derby.
They managed the game well, and this was key. It shows that if we stick to the plan, we will usually get what we want. The win shows the importance of a tactical approach and discipline on the pitch.
Coach Magera praised Sammy Ssebaduka for his solitary, decisive goal, which was a major highlight of the match.
Ssebaduka’s performance showed his value to the team, especially given his versatility across multiple positions.
He came into the club as a winger, but he is a versatile player and can play as a right back too. He is a fantastic player and one who is key to our setup. His versatility is important to us.
This positional adaptability clearly offers the coaching staff crucial tactical options.
