Recently sacked Vipers assistant coach George “Best” Nsimbe has taken over the coaching reigns at Tusker, TheUgandan Sport can reveal.
Nsimbe flew to Nairobi two days ago to replace another Ugandan tactician Paul Nkata as Tusker FC head coach in the SportPesa Premier League and signed a two-year deal worth millions of Kenyan shillings.
Formed in 1969, the club is sponsored by East African Breweries and its name refers to Tusker, a well-known beer brand by the company. The club was known as Kenya Breweries until 1999, when the current name was adopted. Tusker play their home games at the Kinoru Stadium in Meru.
Current Chemelil Sugar coach Francis Baraza will assist Nsimbe at the club that also has Ugandan players Shafik Batambuze, Robert Omunuk and Hashim Sempalaon their books.
It is the second time in Nsimbe’s coaching career that he is managing a foreign club after a stint with Tanzania Azam.
His compatriot last week Nkata departed for Bandari FC based in Mombasa where he will pocket close to shs14m million a month with all other bills covered.
