Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Belgium\u2019s Paul Joseph Put has been appointed new coach of Uganda\u2019s national football team.<\/b><\/p>\n

Put takes over from Milutin \u2018Micho\u2019 Sredojevic who left the role in September.<\/p>\n

Put was unveiled during a press briefing at the FUFA Complex in Kampala. FUFA president Moses Hassim Magogo confirmed that the Belgian has signed a two-year contract.<\/p>\n

Magogo also made it clear that Put will be allowed to appoint his own backroom staff. \u201cHe will work with five people from Belgium, but Ugandans will also have a chance to be part of the backroom staff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI first of all want to thank the FUFA for the trust and confidence in giving me this job. I believe my knowledge of African football will help me to do a good job with the Uganda Cranes,\u201d Put said.<\/p>\n

The 67-year-old has been the head coach of several national teams in Africa, including Burkina Faso, Gambia, Kenya and Congo.<\/p>\n

The coach will start his new assignment with 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this month. Uganda face Guinea in their first Group G match, and later battle Somalia with both fixtures in November. The group also includes Algeria, Mozambique and Botswana.<\/p>\n
