The CAF ‘A’ coaching course that started a week ago at the FUFA technical centre in Njeru, Buyikwe District has been extended by a further three days.
CAF senior instructor Sunday Kayuni from Tanzania communicated the change, citing limited time and the heavy workload that is yet to be completed.
“There are two modules - coaching methodologies and the practicals that still require more time for evaluation and assessment,” Kayuni said.
FUFA President Moses Magogo thanked the coaches for their commitment to enrol for the course.
“Coaching education remains a crucial aspect of the modern game. Uganda needs many educated coaches. The game today is dynamic and requires modern day tactics, which is just the right route FUFA is undertaking,” Magogo said on Saturday.
He said after going through the CAF A equivalency course, coaches will be able to pass on the knowledge to other CAF B and C coaches in order to up bring players in a professional way to suit the game of football and also enable Uganda qualify for the next AFCON championships.
The coaches will now rest for four days before they resume with the studies on Thursday.
Coaches like Jackson Mayanja and Ashraf Ssemwogerere among others were thankful to FUFA for organising the course, adding that the knowledge will take them an extra mile to promote football in Uganda and in international clubs they work for as coaches.
The course will officially be closed on Saturday, February 7, 2015.
Local CAF instructors Jackson Nyiima (also FUFA Education Officer), Asuman Lubowa (FUFA Technical Director), Tom Lwanga, Mujib Kasule, and Livingstone Kyambadde (all CAF A coaches) are working with Kayuni to conduct the course.
CAF Pro is the highest level of coaching on the continent.
Among the coaches undergoing the coaching course is; Paul Ssali (Fufa Technical Committee member), Frank Anyau (Fufa Technical Committee member), Sam Ssimbwa (SC Villa), Mike Mutebi, George Ssemwogerere (Somalia), Paddy Kintu (local instructor), Moses Basena, Edward Golola (Vipers), Timothy Ayiekoh (Sports Officer Kakira), Majidah Nantanda (Crested Cranes head coach) and Jackson Mayanja (Kagera Sugar-Tanzania).
