Uganda coach Jonathan McKinstry appears to have paid the price for the team’s poor performances in recent times. The Irishman was on Tuesday asked to step aside from his role by his employers, the Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA). “In the meantime assistant coaches Mr Mubiru Abdallah, Mr Mbabazi Livingstone and goalkeeping coach Mr Kajoba Fred will take charge of the team during this period. Before then, Uganda surprisingly lost 1-0 to lowly South Sudan in Nairobi to dent the team’s hopes of qualification to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon. McKinstry, who formerly coached in Rwanda, is the second trainer based in East Africa, after Tanzania’s Etienne Ndayiragije, to be sacked in the past three months.
