Arua Hill appoint controversial chairman to save their troubles

In a bid to make a massive leap in the club's operations, Arua Hill SC have made changes in the administrative structure, appointing Hassan Mugerwa Takoowa as their new chairman.

Mugerwa comes in with worthy administrative experience, having previously served as FUFA Marketing Manager.

"We would like to introduce and welcome our new chairman, Mr Mugerwa Hassan Takoowa," the club confirmed earlier on Monday.

He also served in a similar role as his latest one at Busoga United, a spell that had him locked in controversies with club patron Hope Diana Nyago.

Mugerwa and Nyago were engulfed in Busoga United ownership wrangles for years, with the former at some point indicating he owned the club.

Then, Mugerwa went as far as underlining that he was being forced out of the club despite injecting in personal funds.

At a time when Nyago and several FUFA officials allegedly had intentions of turning Busoga into a community club, Mugerwa opposed the restructuring, claiming he hadn't been paid the monies he had injected.

The battles have since met a sudden death, and it is still unknown whether Mugerwa and the contesting parties finally found levelled grounds.

Meanwhile, he is expected to kickstart a renaissance at Arua Hill as the club is currently undergoing their worst start to a top-flight season.

They currently sit at the base of the Uganda Premier League table, having accumulated just a single point in seven games.
