Only Two Ugandan Coaches Applied For Cranes Boss Job Out Of 243

Posted by: Eninu William in Ugandan Football September 23, 2023

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations(FUFA) has confirmed that only two Ugandan coaches have expressed interest in taking on the job, with the other 243 being non-natives.

As the search for the next Uganda Cranes head coach intensifies, local football custodian FUFA have confirmed 245 applicants for the hot seat

The seat fell vacant after FUFA parted ways with head coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic two weeks ago. Micho had held the role for the past two years.

The Federation has confirmed that only two Ugandan coaches have expressed interest in taking on the job. The other 243 were non-natives. However, FUFA did not disclose the candidates (Ugandan and non-Ugandan).

This development comes just in time as football enthusiasts demanded that a Ugandan native be appointed.

FUFA has also confirmed that only two Ugandan coaches have applied for the Assistant Coach job out of 34 applicants. The eventual appointee will replace former deputy head coach Moses Basena.

For the Goalkeeping Coach role, only one Ugandan has shown interest out of seven candidates. Fred Kajoba has held the post for the past years.

Meanwhile, just five Ugandans out of 24 candidates have expressed interest in the Strength and Conditioning Coach job.

It’s still unclear when the federation intends to announce the next holders of the vacant positions. Uganda currently has a World Cup qualification campaign to deal with.
