Uganda coach Johnny McKinstry has been 鉊�鉊耜葷鉊�鉆�鉆�鉊徇艇鉊� slotxo told 'to step aside' for
the month of March by the country's football federation.

The Federation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) did not give details for
the decision by its executive committee, simply clarifying it is not related to
discipline.

"In the meantime Assistant Coaches Mr. Mubiru Abdallah, Mr. Mbabazi Livingstone
and goalkeeping coach Mr. Kajoba Fred will take charge of the team during this
period," the statement added.

"The rest of the Technical team remains unchanged.

"Fufa will use the period to assess and monitor the performance of the team."

The move comes ahead of Uganda's final two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers,
at home to Burkina Faso at home on 24 March and then away to Malawi a few days
later.

The Cranes are currently second in Group C on seven points just one behind
leaders Burkina Faso and three ahead of Malawi in third while South Sudan are
bottom on four points.

Uganda are aiming to qualify for their third consecutive Nations Cup finals.

Northern Irishman McKinstry, 35, has been in charge of Uganda since September
2019 when he replaced Frenchman Sebastien Desabre. He has been in charge
of 14 games, winning nine, drawing twice, and losing on three.
