NEC FC has turned the page on its recent turbulence by appointing Kaddu Badru Mukasa as the man to steer the team into its next chapter. The former Express FC tactician was unveiled on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, through the club’s official communication channels, marking the beginning of a three-year project aimed at stabilizing and redefining the Bugolobi-based side’s ambitions.
The arrival of Kaddu is seen as a statement of intent from NEC’s management, who have been keen to inject fresh energy and tactical clarity following a difficult period under former coach Hussein Mbalangu. Mbalangu’s two-year reign came to an abrupt end after internal disciplinary issues led to his dismissal last month.
Kaddu’s move from Express brings not just a new face to the technical bench but also a philosophy built on discipline, adaptability, and attacking football. Insiders at the club suggest that NEC’s hierarchy was impressed by his record of grooming young talent and his ability to navigate pressure situations.
For NEC, this appointment is more than a coaching change it is a strategic reset designed to restore stability and ambition after months of uncertainty.
