Preview: Can BUL Persevere Without Arthur Kyesimira?
BUL FC will be without head coach Arthur Kyesimira for their trip to Kavumba to face hosts Bright Stars in a league game on Wednesday.
The gaffer starts one of his two match ban.
The statement from FUFA Disciplinary committee said that Kyesimira made ‘offensive’ comments on the bench during a recent game against MYDA in Bugembe.
The side has blown hot and cold this season, despite having one of the highest budgets in the league.
They have won two of their six away games this season, and without their head coach, its surely a big mountain for them to climb against hungry Bright Stars.
The hosts have gone four games without a win, including a 1-0 home loss against Onduparaka at Kavumba.
They sit in 10th place, just a point and place above their opponents BUL on the league table.
