FUFA and National Junior Teams’ (U17 and U20) head coach Mr. Kwasi Fabin Samuel have agreed to end the contract between the two parties by mutual consent, even though the announcement has shocked football fans who expected wanted him to stay longer.
“FUFA is happy with the work done by Mr. Kwasi in the period he has been in Uganda. However a request by the coach to go and handle family matters back home thus not able to continue with the job, saw the Executive consent to his request,” read a statement.
Kwasi was in charge of the Uganda U-17 team which participated in the AFCON Finals in Tanzania from April14-28, 2019 where they were eliminated in group stage.
Kwesi was officially unveiled to the media on March 20 2019 at FUFA House in Mengo, Kampala as coach of U17 and U20 teams, with the assignment to guide U17 team at the tournament in Tanzania.
Addressing the media then during the coach’s unveiling ceremony, the FUFA boss, Eng. Moses Magogo said he vested full trust in the former Ghana U-17 head coach.
“The arrival of Samuel Kwesi will improve our underage team because he is a very experienced coach who has been at the youth World Cup. As Uganda, our dream is to be the best in Africa on and off the field of play. Kwesi has the potential to lead us at the World Cup given his experience. We promise to give him full support,” he said.
