Roberto Di Matteo led Chelsea to UEFA Champions League and the English FA Cup 15 months ago. Next week, he will herald the beginning of a new campaign aimed at boosting Ugandan football.

It is all courtesy of Guinness, who are behind the venture that they believe continues the policy of delivering “amazing football experiences”. 

Said Mark Mugisha, marketing manager Uganda Breweries: “We are extremely excited to be hosting such an esteemed and great icon in the world of football and as Guinness, we are proud to be associated with a man who through his achievements is truly made of more, just like the brand.

“We can’t wait to announce what we have in store for Di Matteo and Guinness over the forthcoming months.

"Guinness is underlining its commitment to football in Uganda through a bold, challenging, distinctive, entertaining and inspiring platform that will require all football lovers to demonstrate that they are made of more.”

Di Matteo, capped 34 times for Italy, played for various big clubs across Europe before becoming a manager, most famously at Chelsea where he led the team to their first UEFA Champions League title in 2012.
