Mugerwa Returns As She Cranes Head Coach Summons Squad For World Cup Qualifiers

The Uganda Netball Federation (UNF) has named Fred Mugerwa as the new She Cranes head coach. The naming happened at a press conference held at UNF head offices in Old Kampala on Wednesday, October 6, 2021.

Mugerwa replaces Vincent Kiwanuka who had been in charge of the team at the 2019 Netball World Cup.

Mugerwa will be assisted by two former players Sarah Namuddu and Harriet Kabuye as the first and second assistants respectively.

This new technical team also has to ensure Uganda returns to the next World Cup in South Africa in 2023.

With the help of his two assistants, Mugerwa will coach the side at the Netball Africa championships in Namibia which starts later in October.

The competition will also act as a gateway to the Netball World Cup in 2023.

On Wednesday, they announced a squad of 23 players for the Africa Netball Championships.

It is also made up of only local-based players with Mary Nuba and Peace Proscovia who play their trade in the United Kingdom, not part of it.

They expect the new team to enter the camp on Thursday to kick off preparations for the continental showdown.
