Magid Musisi Mukiibi (also written Majid Musisi ; born September 15, 1968 in Kampala , Uganda ; † February 13, 2005 there ) is considered one of the best Ugandan football players. He was the first Ugandan to play in a European professional league. His most famous nickname was Magic Magid .

Career

Top star in Uganda

Magid Musisi grew up in Mulago, a suburb of Kampala, and started playing football there. His keen goal instinct did not go undiscovered for long, and after another year at Pepsi FC , he joined professional club Villa SC in 1984 , where he made his first division debut two years later and was also a national player during this time. A year later, at the age of eighteen, he became the league's top scorer with twenty-eight goals. By 1991 he repeated this success twice and was the first player to score over a hundred first division goals in Uganda. In the same year he was with SC Villa in the final of the African Champions League , which was lost to Club Africain from Tunisia.

In 1992 he was Ugandan top scorer for the fourth time (a total of 138 goals in seven years) and Ugandan champion for the sixth time. With another 28 goals this season, Magid Musisi was on the verge of breaking Jimmy Kirunda's league record of 32 goals in one season, but he moved to Europe four game days before the end of the season. After the domestic successes he went to France , where he had signed a contract with the second division Stade Rennes for a transfer fee of $ 120,000 .

Europe

Musisi was the first Ugandan professional footballer to play in Europe. In the years with Rennes, however, the only successes in 1994 were promotion to Division 1 . In 1994 Musisi moved to Bursaspor in Turkey. Here he again spent several years. In his first season in the Turkish Süper Lig he scored nine goals and ended up with the club in sixth place. In the following season he came to fifteen goals this season. In the winter break of 1996/97 Musisi moved within the league from Bursa to relegation-threatened newcomer Dardanelspor , whom he led to relegation with five goals in the second half of the season. 1997/98 was his most successful season: he scored fifteen league goals and was voted the best foreign player in the Süper Lig . When the small club was relegated from the Süper Lig just a year later, he went back to his former club SC Villa in Uganda.

End of career and death

After winning only two smaller trophies at SC Villa in three years, Musisi finally moved to Kampala United in 2003 .

In 2005 he died after a long illness.
