The supreme governing body of football in Uganda, FUFA is currently searching for a suitable candidate to fill-in the Uganda Cranes head coach role left vacant after the departure of Serbian tactician Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic.
Micho had taken the job in 2021 after Uganda failed to make the AFCON in Cameroon, replacing then interim Abdallah Mubiru. The latter had taken over from Jonathan McKinstry.
The federation, responsible for hiring and firing all technical personels of the different football national teams including the Uganda Cranes has now resorted to putting up a public notice, calling upon any potential candidates to apply for that role, amongst other positions.

FUFA is still looking for a Head coach, Assistant Coach, Goalkeeping Trainer plus a Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Uganda Cranes.
The federation now has less than two months to find suitable candidates before November this year when the international qualifiers commence. Uganda is in Group G, alongside Algeria, Guinea, Mozambique, Botswana, and Somalia.
