The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has unveiled the new coach for the Uganda National Beach Soccer Team (Sand Cranes).

At a brief function that was held at FUFA Complex in Mengo, the Federation President Moses Magogo revealed Angelo Schrinzi will work on a short-term basis.

He will take charge of the team at the COSAFA Beach Soccer Championship where Uganda will be a guest team and the 2022 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations.

Magogo believes Schrinzi comes with experience and will help Uganda achieve its target of going to the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.

"He is a good coach who has been at the very top with teams like Switzerland. Our target is to perform well at AFCON and qualify for the World Cup," he said.

Besides Switzerland, Schrinzi has also worked in Ghana, Tanzania, Burundi, and Haiti among others.

He is also a FIFA Beach Soccer Instructor who has trained coaches and also written handbooks.

The Swiss gaffer replaces Salim Jamal Muwonge who assumed the role in 2018.
