Fans and journalists call Jackson Mayanja to order for his antics after the Vipers' loss
The aftermath of KCCA FC interim head coach Jackson Mayanja's behaviour in the post-match press conference, has spilt over, with football fans and sports journalists calling Mayanja to order.
The 53-year-old blamed centre referee Ssali Mahoodi for poor officiation, but when quizzed further to point out the incidents he termed poor officiation, Mayanja resorted to unwarranted responses before he walked out of the press room.
It's against that background that fans and sports journalists have to call the KCCA FC legend back to order, telling him to act professionally.

"Jackson Mayanja should transition from a player to a coach. He was such a great player but has yet to be a great coach at any moment. Instead, he wants to blame the referee for his own mistakes. Boss, sit, settle and work."
