Ghana's 2018 WC opponent Uganda appoint Basena and Kajoba as interim coaches

Published on: 01 August 2017

Ghana's 2018 World Cup qualifying opponent Uganda has appointed Moses Basena and Fred Kajoba as the interim coaches of the national team.

The two local coaches replace Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic, who terminated his contract on Saturday over unpaid wages.

The Ugandan FA has admitted it owes the Serbian US $54,000 and says it has plans to clear the debt.

Sredojevic, who has been in charge of the Cranes since 2013, lead Uganda to its first Africa Cup of Nations finals since 1978.

The Fufa president Moses Magogo has blamed the Uganda government for their lack of financial support for their failure to pay Sredojevic

"Other countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Morocco - who we are rubbing shoulders with - are catered for by their governments," Magogo said.

Basena has been assistant coach to Sredojevic while Kajoba is a former national team goalkeeper and will look after Uganda's current crop of stoppers.

The duo will be in charge for Uganda's 2018 Africa Nations Championship qualifier against Rwanda and the double-header with Egypt in World Cup qualifying.
