The Federation of Uganda Football Associations has asked the head coach of the national team, Johnathan McKinstry, to step aside.
McKinstry's tenure as the Cranes' head coach came under furious scrutiny when Uganda failed to make a great impact at the African Nations Championship competition in Cameroon.
The Cranes were eliminated at the group stage after losses to Morocco and Togo and a draw against Rwanda. Since then, the Northern Irish coach has received criticism for the poor outing.
