Uganda have appointed Sredojevic 'Micho' Milutin as their new coach.
The 43-year-old fills the post that has been vacant since Bobby Williamson's contract was terminated in April and he has signed a two-year deal with the Cranes.Micho, who was sacked by Rwanda last month, said he was happy to be back in the country where he had his first coaching job in Africa, with SC Villa.
"I am so glad to be back in Uganda, but I must start with serious work straight away," said Micho, speaking at the Ugandan FA headquarters in Mengo.The president of the UFA, Lawrence Mulindwa, said 37 people had applied for the post.
"We are happy to have a new coach and will give him all the support he needs," said Mulindwa.Former Cranes assistants Sam Timbe and Kefa Kisala were also announced as Micho's assistant coaches, while Fred Kajoba retains his position as goalkeepers' coach."I fully appreciate all the good work that my predecessors have done. I believe that the support I will have will make us fly on," added Micho.
"One of my aims is to develop the youth systems and I want us to move from 97th in the rankings up to the top 70 and stay there to give our players a chance to play in top European leagues."Sredojevic first came to Africa in 2001 to coach Ugandan club SC Villa and led them to a league title. He did the same with Ethiopia's St George and had some success in continental club competitions guiding South African giants Orlando Pirates to the semi finals of the African Champions League in 2006.
He also lead Sudan's Al Hilal to the last four of both the Confederation Cup and Champions League.Sredojevic took over Rwanda in November 2011 replacing Ghanaian Sellas Tetteh.His biggest achievement with Amavubi was a runners-up spot at the 2011 Cecafa Senior Challenge, the East and Central African regional championship.
