Over the weekend, musician Bebe Cool's son, Thierry Alpha Ssali, finalized his transfer to NEC Football Club, joining on a two-year contract from Express FC.
His transfer fees remain undisclosed, but there are allegations that it was influenced by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, a personal friend of Bebe Cool.
Bebe Cool has since spoken about the transfer, congratulating Alpha Ssali on finding a new home for his career and explaining that better things are on the way.
"New Beginnings! ⚽️🇺🇬 A proud moment for me as a father. Congratulations to Alpha Thierry Ssali on officially signing a two-year contract with National Enterprise Corporation Football Club.
Your dedication, discipline, and hard work have paved the way for this milestone, and I have no doubt they will continue to elevate you to even greater heights.
The journey is just beginning. Stay focused, remain humble, trust in Allah, and always strive for excellence. The future is bright," Bebe Cool noted.
Alpha Ssali left Express FC after struggling to regain his fitness and form. He scored only four goals in the more than ten matches he played for the historic club.
