Amidst rampant Media Reports concerning the status of the unpaid salaries for Uganda Cranes’ head coach, Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredejovic, the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has come out to clarify on the matter.
In a detailed statement published on the federation website, FUFA acknowledges the great work done by Micho especially in as far as helping the country qualify to the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 1978 and indeed accept that they owe the coach salaries whose amount was not established.
The statement reads in part;
FUFA indeed owes Milutin Sredojevic unpaid salaries and shares his frustrations over the delay.
During the costly AFCON 2017 qualification campaign, FUFA prioritized all the meagre resources at its disposal to facilitate requirements for the success of the team and campaign.
In preparation for the final Group D but key match against Comoros, over the last 2 months alone, coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has been paid three times and received all his bonus and allowances entitlements for the AFCON 2017 campaign just like the rest of the team members.
FUFA is committed to ensuring all his salary arrears are cleared and we are confident this will be handled.
On Tuesday this week, the FUFA president and Micho held a highly secretive meeting to discuss the way forward although no detail was revealed owing to the confidentiality clause embedded in the employment contract of the Serbian born tactician who took over Bobby Williamson in 2013.
