Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) has officially sacked national team Uganda Cranes head coach Johnathan McKinstry.
In a statement announcing McKinstry’s sacking, the federation said the coach “has today reached an agreement with FUFA to bring an end to his 18 months at the helm of the Uganda Cranes.”
“Fufa would like to thank Coach McKinstry and his staff for the work and dedication to developing the Uganda Cranes during their tenure,” the country’s football governing body said.
“Coach McKinstry departs Uganda having won 2 in every 3 games played, recording a 67% WIN rate from the 18 games he has overseen – including 12 wins, 3 draws and only 3 defeats.”
Fufa had suspended McKinstry for weeks before he was relieved of his duties.
Under caretaker coaches, Uganda Cranes failed to qualify for the African Cup of Nations (Afcon).
Fufa further hailed McKinstry for his Cecafa performance.
The federation also wished him good luck in his next endeavors.
,”Coach McKinstry guided Uganda to victory in the CECAFA Challenge Cup 2019 where Uganda won all of the games contested, for only the second time in their history,” Fufa went on.
“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.”
