McKinstry: Uganda coach reveals how he convinced Fufa to hire him

Johnathan McKinstry has revealed his role in stabilizing Rwanda played a major role in him getting the job as Uganda national team coach.

The youthful tactician joined the East African nation in 2019 to take over from Frenchman Sebastien Desabre, who had left the country after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nation held in Egypt.

"I was coach of Rwanda sometime back and, Uganda and Rwanda are historical rivals, it's like England and Scotland, their relationship goes beyond football on the pitch," McKinstry said in an interview with Bola Bola.
