Denis Onyango Threatens To Quit Uganda Cranes | AUDIO

Denis Onyango, the Uganda Cranes captain has threatened to quit the national team over comments by FUFA president, Moses Magogo on the team that played in CHAN.

Former Cranes midfielder, Sulaiman Mutyaba started the war, accusing FUFA and Moses Magogo of pocketing allowances and monthly salaries of national team players.

However, while addressing journalists earlier last week, Magogo said some of the players don’t deserve the money since they played “shitty football” during the CHAN championships in Cameroon.

“When you demand for payment, what have you put on the table?, They went to CHAN and played shitty football and then come back, what are you demanding?”, Magogo said.

Mogogo’s comments have not gone well with some of the Cranes players, the latest being captain, Denis Onyango who in an audio has threatened to quit the national team.

“Oyo taata wamwe mwe mugenda musambila mipiira gya World Cup, Nze silina budde bwa musilusilu nga oyo. (I do not know who will play for him (Magogo) in the World Cup qualifiers because for me, I do not have the time for that fool) You embezzle players funds and go ahead to make funny statements! National team players were supposed to be paid one million shillings each monthly but all in vain,” Onyango said in an audio recording that has since gone viral on social media.

“It was just a matter of coming out with an explanation because the truth is FUFA owes them the money. I am really tired of making money for those FUFA guys, let him start another team and we see those who do not play shitty football and make the money for him”, Onyango added.

In a seemingly angry tone, the Cranes skipper says he is tired of being used by people for their own selfish interests in the name of playing for the national team.

Onyango’s comments come days after the Cranes vice-captain, Hassan Wasswa announced his retirement from the national team after 13 year playing tenure.

Following Magogo’s “shitty football” comments about the Cranes CHAN team, members of the public have criticized the FUFA president for being insensitive by making “reckless” comments that are capable of causing disharmony.

However, FUFA has not come out to issue a statement about the same.
