Mayanja wants local coach for Uganda

In an exclusive interview with MTNFootball.com, Mayanja who played professional football in Egypt with El Masry and also served as the national team assistant Coach, said he also has what it takes to handle the team.

“There is a crop of local coaches who have the experience and personality to handle the national team and take it to the next level,” reasoned Mayanja, who handles Kagera FC in the Tanzania Premier League.

Mayanja who was assistant to Scotsman Robert ‘Bobby’ Williamson before he was sacked last year, said he is not against coaches from Europe, Asia or any other continent, but said it is the Ugandan coaches who understand their players even better.“The FA will not regret if they put trust in some local coaches and invest in them some money. The crop of coaches like Sam Ssimbwa, Moses Basena, Sam Timbe, Mike Mutebi and myself have what it takes to guide Uganda Cranes to the next level,” he added.
