The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Paul Joseph Put from Belgium has been named the new head coach of the Uganda Cranes. Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) announced the appointment early today.
Paul Put has coached in Burkina Faso, Gambia, Guinea, Kenya and recently Congo Brazzaville.
“FUFA rolled out an application process and we got over 150 coaches including two Ugandans who applied for the job. After thorough analysis, the FUFA Executive zeroed down on Mr. Paul Put and we believe will do a good job,” said FUFA President Moses Magogo at the unveiling of the coach.
He takes over from Serbian Milutin “Micho” Sredojevic who was sacked after a disappointing Africa Cups of Nations qualifying campaign.
Fufa would have employed an experienced local coach instead of a foriegn coach.
