FUFA has confirmed that Moses Basena will have two new faces on the Uganda Cranes technical bench for the forthcoming interim period when the National Senior team takes on Egypt on 31st August and 5th September, 2017 for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifier at Namboole stadium and in Alexandria.
Express FC Coach Matia Lule and US based former Uganda Cranes captain Ibrahim Sekagya are the two technical people who have been selected by Interim coach Moses Basena.
‘Basena made the request to have both Lule and Sekagya to reinforce the technical team so that Fred Kajoba concentrates on the goalkeeping area. FUFA honoured Basena’s request and we believe the new additions will be of great value to the Cranes’ said FUFA Communications Manager Ahmed Hussein
‘With 27 players and just two coaches in camp, Basena requested FUFA to allow him make additions on the technical expertise which request was duly granted’ added Hussein
‘We need to give the coaches the utmost support during this period so that we register good results for the National team during this campaign.

Both Lule and Sekagya will be available for the two qualifiers against Egypt an interim period that was given to the technical team that continued with National team duties following the termination of the contract by Milutin Sredojevic as the head coach of the Uganda Cranes.
Lule will start work with immediate effect on Thursday morning while Sekagya will jet in on 27th August, 2017 to join the Uganda Cranes.
