Kampala, Uganda | URN | The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has on Monday 19, April 2021 officially parted ways with head coach Johnathan McKinstry.
According to a statement issued by FUFA, the Head Coach of the Uganda Men’s National team, McKinstry, has reached an agreement with FUFA to bring an end to his 18 months at the helm of the Uganda Cranes.
“We would like to thank Coach McKinstry for the professionalism demonstrated during his employment with FUFA, and we wish him well in all his future endeavours,” stated FUFA in the communication.
