S.C Villa have confirmed the appointment of Milincic Nemanja as new head coach following their underwhelming season in the Uganda Premier League.
After an underwhelming 2024/25 Uganda Premier League (UPL) campaign that fell short of S.C Villa’s lofty standards, the record Ugandan champions have taken decisive action by appointing Milincic Nemanja as their new Head Coach.
The Serbian tactician arrives with a strong European pedigree and a clear mandate: to restore S.C Villa to domestic dominance and make them competitive on the continental stage.
Milincic joins the club on a full-time basis with immediate effect, replacing the previous technical team after a disappointing season that saw the Blues fall short of major silverware.

Harambee Starlets Continue Perfect Run With Demolition of South Sudan
Kenya's Harambee Starlets continued their fine run in the CECAFA Women's Championships with a dominant win over South Sudan.
Milincic, who holds a UEFA PRO License alongside UEFA A, B, and C Licenses, boasts over 10 years of experience coaching at high-ranking European clubs.
Most notably, he served as the Assistant Coach of the Bulgarian National Team during the 2022/23 season. His credentials and tactical expertise have impressed Villa’s leadership, who believe he is the right man to lead a football renaissance at the club.
“After a thorough selection process, we are confident that Milincic’s experience, vision, expertise, and passion for the game align perfectly with our ambitions,” said Hajji Omar Ahmed Mandela, Club President.
“We believe he is the right person to lead our team to new heights, both domestically and on the continental stage.”
Known for his attacking brand of football and emphasis on youth development, Milincic also places a premium on structured defense and tactical discipline—qualities S.C Villa were often criticized for lacking last season.
In his first official statement, Milincic spoke of his excitement to take over a club rich in tradition:
“I am honored and thrilled to join S.C Villa, a club with such a rich history and dedicated fanbase,” he stated as quoted on the club’s official press release.
“I am eager to get to work with the players, staff and management to build a formidable team that will challenge for every trophy available.

Rulani Mokwena Addresses Links With Return to South Africa and Egyptian Giants
Rulani Mokwena has hinted at a possible return to a major South African club while remaining tight lipped on one of his former clubs and Egyptian giants.
“I know the expectations are high, and I am committed to delivering success and making our supporters proud.”
The record Ugandan champions, who hold 16 league titles, endured a dismal campaign marred by inconsistency, underperformance, and lost opportunities. Villa finished 6th in the league, far below expectations and a significant drop from their title-winning form the previous year.
Villa’s Woeful Season
A major factor behind the change in technical leadership was S.C Villa's sharp decline in league position. After lifting the UPL title in 2023/24, Villa could only manage a 6th-place finish this season, collecting 45 points from 12 wins, 9 draws, and 9 losses.
Equally concerning was Villa's abysmal away form, which exposed the team's inability to perform under pressure outside their home turf.
In the first round of the season, the club failed to win any of their seven away matches, suffering five defeats and managing just two draws.
Their struggles on the road culminated in painful moments, such as the last-minute loss to Kitara FC—a result that summed up a season of near-misses and lost control.

The club's problems also extended to the continental front. S.C Villa’s premature exit from the CAF Champions League was another critical blow. They were knocked out in the first round by Ethiopian outfit CBE, losing 3–2 on aggregate.
Their struggles were also felt closer to home. Villa delivered uninspired performances in key league fixtures, most notably the Kampala Derby against KCCA, which ended in a 2–2 draw. T
he result, coupled with a broader pattern of poor performances, saw Villa languish in mid-table by late season, 24 points adrift of leaders Vipers SC. Such gaps between the club and its rivals were unthinkable for a team of Villa's pedigree.
Lastly, there were genuine fears about S.C Villa’s proximity to the relegation zone at one point. With their inconsistent form, a series of losses, and lack of attacking potency, Villa at times looked like a team without direction.
Though they avoided relegation, finishing 6th, the margins were too narrow for comfort and raised urgent alarms about the club’s tactical approach and squad cohesion.
