Sebastien Desabre Quits as Uganda Cranes Coach

Following the just ended Africa Cup of Nations campaign for the nation team Uganda Cranes, Coach Sebastien Desabre has decided to leave the team with the Federation for Uganda Football Association saying the move was by mutual consent.

Mr Desabre replaced Milutin Micho Sredojević in 2017 after the Serbian accused FUFA of declining to pay him his arrears.

Below is the full statement issued by FUFA,

On the 6th of July 2019, both FUFA and  National Team Head coach of the Uganda Cranes Mr. Desabre Sebastien Serge Louis mutually agreed to terminate the contract between the two parties.

The reasons for termination of the employment contract are for the benefit and growth of both parties.

FUFA recognizes the contribution by Mr. Desabre for the improvement of the sporting and professional organization of the Uganda Cranes inclusive of qualification to the AFCON 2019 Finals and also to the Round of 16.

Mr. Desabre is grateful to the people and the Government of Uganda, FUFA, Sponsors, Staff and the players that have provided him a good environment to fulfill his obligations in his first-time role as a National Team Coach.

FUFA will communicate any further development about the Uganda Cranes technical staff and future programs of the National senior team in the nearest future.
