Paidha Black Angels are reportedly closing in on a new deal for head coach Mark Twinamatsiko with an official announcement expected soon.
As a reward to the man widely credited with dragging the West Nile side back from the brink of another lost season in the FUFA Big League, PBA is at the verge of extending Coach Mark's stay at Bar Okoro for a further period.
With it being easy to forget just how precarious things looked in Paidha when Twinamatsiko took charge, the gaffer arrived mid season inheriting a squad already several games into the 2025/26 campaign and sitting uncomfortably in the drop zone after the club parted ways with Godfrey Wasswa.
What followed instead was one of the more remarkable turnarounds of the Big League season.
Under Twinamatsiko, Paidha didn't just steady themselves. They went on a run that pulled them from relegation trouble into a genuine promotion fight that stretched all the way to the final matchday.
They were edged out for the last promotion slot on the season's last day after a tight three way scramble involving Kataka and Kigezi Home Boyz.
With the extension eminent, continuity, not another mid season reset, looks like the more sensible route back into the promotion conversation next term for The Blacks.
