FUFA President Moses Magogo has warned "the trying local coaches" against expressing their interest in managing the Uganda Cranes.
Magogo stated the above during the unveiling of the Belgian Paul Joseph Put as the new Uganda Cranes head coach at FUFA Complex on Thursday, November 2.
"We got over 250 applicants, including two Ugandans who, according to our section team, did not meet the federation's requirements," Magogo explained.
"A number of our coaches lack the exposure because they have played and been coached from here, and they shouldn't try themselves out starting with the national team."
He added: "We have junior teams and local clubs where they can be tried first, but not the Uganda Cranes."
