Thabit: Azam FC will not release Mapigano despite signing Kigonya

Azam FC management has come out to clarify they will not allow keeper David Mapigano to leave the club before his contract expires.

The Chamazi-based club confirmed the signing of another keeper – Mathias Kigonya from Forest Rangers in Zambia – before the mini-transfer window closed on January 15, and the arrival of the Ugandan has cast doubt on the future of Mapigano.

Mapigano, who signed for Azam at the start of the 2020-21 season from Kenyan champions Gor Mahia, has been the team’s first-choice keeper for the better part of the first round but with the arrival of Kigonya, many feel he will not be able to keep his position.
