FUFA Executive Committee asked the Head Coach of the National Senior side - The Uganda Cranes Mr. Johnathan McKinstry to step aside from managing and coaching the team for the period from 2nd- 31st March 2021 leaving Ugandans wondering what went wrong.

Assistant coaches Abdullah Mubiru, Charles Livingston Mbabazi and goalkeeper's coach Kajoba Fred will take interim charge of the team during this period.

FUFA and its Technical committee will then assess their performance and a final resolution will later be made.

The interim coaching staff will take charge of two AFCON qualification matches against Burkina Faso in March,24th before visiting Malawi five days later.

Appointed in September 2019 to replace Sebastien Desabre, McKinstry has been in charge of 14 games, winning nine, drawing twice, and losing on three.
