Uganda Cranes coach Sebastien Desabre shocked the nation Saturday night when he announced that he had resigned as the national coach, following the Team’s failure to qualify in the next round of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2019 tournament.
Spy Uganda learnt that on July 6, 2019, both the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) and National Team Head coach of the Uganda Cranes Mr. Desabre Sebastien Serge Louis ‘mutually agreed’ to terminate the contract between the two parties.
“The reasons for termination of the employment contract are for the benefit and growth of both parties.
FUFA recognises the contribution by Mr. Desabre for the improvement of the sporting and professional organisation of the Uganda Cranes inclusive of qualification to the AFCON 2019 Finals and also to the Round of 16.
Mr. Desabre is grateful to the people and the Government of Uganda, FUFA, Sponsors, Staff and the players that have provided him a good environment to fulfill his obligations in his first time role as a National Team Coach.
FUFA will communicate any further development about the Uganda Cranes technical staff and future programmes of the National senior team in the nearest future,” read a statement on FUFA’s officiall website.
Although FUFA maintains it’s a ‘mutual agreement’ to terminate contract,our inside source says Desabre looked so concerned when Cranes players couldn’t have a good match with Egypt after the money disagreement with FUFA.
Desabre took over as head Cranes coach in 2017, replacing Milutin Micho Sredojevic who became coach in 2013.
Meanwhile, our Spies have through a separate source established that Desabre did not only resign because of the Uganda Cranes performance at AFCON, but also because he has been offered another job to train the national team of a country that we shall reveal soon, after the said Country seeing the great job he has done in Uganda, with the Cranes.
We shall keep you updated about this developing story on this very investigative online newspaper.
