The FUFA Executive Committee has relieved Mr. Asaph Mwebaze of the duties of assistant Coach for the National U17 Football team. Mwebaze, a head coach of Maroons FC, which was also excluded from the FUFA Super League during the same meeting, formerly deputized Richard Wasswa on the technical bench.
According to FUFA, the decision by the executive committee followed the release of the results from the recently concluded ‘CAF License C’ examinations. The new CAF rules direct that no person should be mandated with the role of coaching a national team or a club that participates in any CAF sanctioned/organized tournaments without a CAF license C.
During the course conducted at Namboole between August 13-26, a pass mark of 60% was set for the acquisition of this certificate to which Mwebaze performed far below.
The executive committee on advice of the FUFA technical committee will fill this vacant seat in one of its next sittings.
In his own words Mwebaze said; “How I wish they would publish everybody’s result let them show what everybody got. It is just stupid because they never made a press release when they gave me the job, the team does not even exist anyway,” he added.
The U17 was last in action in 2009 before being banned CAF for fielding over aged players against Zambia
