Cranes head Coach Mlutin “Micho” Sredojevic confirmed the development on Monday evening at Mutesa II stadium, Wankulukuku after the Cranes lost 2-0 to Express FC in a Build-up game.

“I won’t tolerate someone who can put his personal business first ahead of the National team, He has abused the nation and every Ugandan and for that issue we have expelled him from the team,” said Micho.
