Mubiru Rashid: ‘Ex’ Returns for an ‘Insured Relationship’, Sets Immediate Target with NIC

The giant club in Uganda Netball, National Insurance Corporation Netball Club reunited with her former tactician, Rashid Mubiru after a spell of months without a head coach.

The defending champions have been under the stewardship of Mugisha Ali as interim head coach after the departure of their head coach, Kiwanuka Vicent who left before the throw off of the 2022/23 season. Kiwanuka is believed to have left to outside countries for personal business.

Rashid Mubiru returned as the head coach of National Insurance Corporation Netball Club, the side he coached before in 2015,2016,2017 and 2018 before Kiwanuka Vicent took over from him after not renewing his contract with the side.

On Saturday, Mubiru had his debut game against Mutelx Life Sport, the Encounter they comfortably won by 60-25.

While speaking to this website in his first interview as the head coach, Mubiru revealed his immediate targets.

“I am happy that I have returned at NIC because I have ever been here before.” He Said.

“Of course my immediate target is to win every game and I will work with my fellow coaches at the team to see that we achieve this.” He added.

Mubiru’s coming means that Mugisha Ali returned to his position as the assistant coach as he was during the reign of Kiwanuka Vicent.

Margret Baagala, the club’s assistant captain believes that with Mubiru, they can still achieve all their targets because he is a man who doesn’t entertain no sense on the Court.

“Coach Mubiru is a good coach, I have ever worked with him while still at St Mary’s Kitende, he is a coach who wants seriousness all the time, he is a coach who wants wins and I believe we can keep along with him.” Said Baagala.

Mubiru found in third position, four points behind the table leaders KCCA Netball Club who have 24 points.
