The return of Micho Sredojevic to coach national football team Uganda Cranes has sparked off a war of words between former Vision Group CEO Robert Kabushenga and Moses Magogo, thenFederation of Uganda Football Associations (Fufa) president.
Micho has signed a three-year contract with Fufa to officially take over from coach Johnathan Mckinstry who was sacking months ago. Mckinstry still had 17 months on his three-year contract.
Micho had fallen out with Magogo’s Fufa after the federation failed to pay him. The 51-year-old left in 2017.
In the four years he was away from Uganda, Micho coached the National Team of Zambia, South African football club Orlando Pirates and Zamalek of Egypt.
Beginning official duties next month, his immediate task is to help Uganda Cranes qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
If Uganda Cranes want to qualify, they will have to outsmart Rwanda, Kenya and Mali starting this September.
But as Micho begins work, Kabushenga’s warning to him not to trust Magogo again has sparked off a Twitter war.
Here are some of the lethal verbal jabs Magogo and Kabushenga have been throwing at each other:
ROBERT KABUSHENGA: Moses Magogo, in normal times you should be in jail and weightlifter Julius Sekitoleko should be an MP.
But then God has played a cruel joke on us as a country and it is the other way round. But it takes a special kind of idiocy to make a mockery of it. I give up!!!
MOSES MAGOGO: It looks like tweeting is your retirement hobby. Dot com era Jajja does not tell stories around fire places but tweets
Just provide us your bank details to be receiving the man’s salaries.
Thank you for the good job
ROBERT KABUSHENGA: Moses Magogo, stupidity is not a badge of honor. It is not a good idea to wear it in full public view.
But then again you are far too tone deaf to understand it.
MAGOGO: With you as the country head boy, we will make sure that in this new contract we pay him through your bank account.
There is no amount of literature that takes away the fact that you got overrated for a long time.
A fufa president suitor for the last decade who uses the public institution to fight a football association has no moral right to shamelessly pose certain questions.
