History

Before Coach Abbey Kikomeko Bogere was re-appointed as the Club head coach in January 2019, Coach Ayiekho Lukula and Mugerwa were the Technical Staff members who ran JSSS FC, which was created in 2012 and is currently managed by Coach Abbey. The Club's CEO was chosen by Hassan Takoowa. Coach Abbey and Hassan Takoowa had a successful working relationship, which helped the Club place fourth in the 2019–20 season. As of right now, Hassan Takoowa has taken over as the club's chairman in lieu of Diana Hope Nyago. Takoowa guided the team through its narrow escape from relegation in the 2020–21 season thanks to shrewd management and a talented technical staff led by Coach Abbey Kikomeko Bogere.
