Micho

It is an emotional time to return to Uganda. Greetings to every single Ugandan with a highest degree of respect. Whatever negative, I would like to apologize –I was at crossroads; one of wounded soul and economic value. I was born in Serbia but football wise born in Uganda. I was part of the football revolution since my earlier times. My journey of African football studies started here in Uganda. I have learnt a lot. I am a much improved version of a coach. 256 GB, now I am in Tellabyts. I thank the previous coaches Sebastien Desabre, Mathias Lule, Johnathan McKinstry, Charles Livingstone Mbabazi and Abdallah Mubiru. I will give particular attention to details; build attack and consolidate on the solid defence. I want to pay back with fanatic hard work. I am here serve, deliver and give back to the people. I am working to see that Uganda is back in the top five of African football. I am a supporter and coach of Uganda Cranes. I am coming with a network of friends including the FIFA President and CAF President.

Micho stated.

Airtel brand and communications manager Remmie Kisakye warmly embraced the return of Micho.

‘We welcome Micho back to Uganda again. The dream to take Uganda at AFCON was perfect. We saw the brand – Corporate and Collaborate. Since Micho came here, we were a 3G company and now a 4G company’ Kisakye disclosed.
