Mbalangu Speaks Out: “I Deserve Top-Level Football”

Former NEC FC coach, Hussein Mbalangu, has opened up about his departure from the club, denying rumors of indiscipline and poor results as the reason for his sacking. Appearing on NBS Sport- Lunch Time Sport Show, Mbalangu claimed that rumors of his dismissal were circulating even when the team was performing well.

Mbalangu revealed that he was never officially unveiled as NEC FC head coach, and his departure was unexpected. “I wasn’t officially unveiled as NEC FC head coach, I just started training the team, and maybe it’s the same way I’ve left,” he said. The coach expressed his disappointment, stating that his move to Ssingo was intentional, aiming to scout players and expand NEC’s fan base.

Mbalangu emphasized that he has his own fans and would take them with him if he were to leave a club. “I personally have my own fans, when you sack me, I definitely go with them,” he said confidently. The coach is setting his sights on top clubs, stating that he would welcome opportunities to manage KCCA FC and Vipers SC.
