The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has confirmed the appointment of Belgian gaffer Paul Put as the new Uganda Cranes head coach.

Paul Put was awarded a two-year employment contract as unveiled during a press conference at FUFA House, Mengo on Thursday, November 2.

The 67-year-old gaffer replaces Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic who was relieved from the role in September this year.

He has vast knowledge of football having worked on the African continent for quite a while.

He has previously been the head at the Algerian side USM Alger and also countries like Kenya, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Guinea and Congo.

His biggest achievement saw him guide Burkina Faso to the 2013 AFCON finals which they painfully lost to Nigeria.

Uganda Cranes will be in action chasing a World Cup ticket. They will face Guinea and Somalia on November 17 and 21 and all games are set to be played away from home.
