Preview: Tooro United Start Life Without Golola
Tooro United will play their first league game after the exit of coach Edward Golola.
The Club, bottom at the table with just four points, parted ways with Golola after a string of poor results.
Many will say that Golola was not to blame for the Club’s poor show this season for a club that has gone months without paying the staff.
And it remains to be seen who will take on the mantle.
The visitors on the other hand, fourth with 23 points, will be looking to win back to back this season in the league.
Express head coach Wasswa Bbosa, John Byamukama, Godfrey Lwesibawa, Charles Musiige, Chrispus Kusiima among others will be facing their former team.
