Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has communicated major changes in the technical management for the U-17 and U-20 national teams.
Peter Onen, former head coach for the national U-17 team and Wasswa Bbosa (U-20) have been dropped in the new structures.
Onen was instrumental for the Uganda Cubs team which qualified for the 2019 AFCON U-17 finals.
This followed a FUFA Emergency Executive Committee convention that called for the changes, intended to re-organise the management and technical set up of the Uganda National teams with immediate effect.
FUFA has now divided the National teams into two categories; Junior teams and the National Senior sides all with different personnel.
FUFA would like to thank the coaches who have played a key role for the Senior and Junior teams during the period they were on duty with the players. The changes will help for continuity purposes, growth and development of players in the categorised National teams. Further reviews on the technical personnel of the Uganda Cranes and other National teams will be made and communicated in due course. The changes take immediate effect.
