Local footballing coach Allan Kabonge is likely to miss out on a CAF B coaching license if he fails to clear a fee of one million Uganda shillings.
The tactician confirmed the ugly ordeal while talking to local sports website football256 from Njeru where 24 coaches are undertaking a CAF B Coaching Diploma Course.
“I have been sent out of class due to a debt of one million Uganda shillings,” Kabonge told this website before adding.
“At the beginning, I thought FUFA had cleared all the payments, but I have been told that they paid one million which is half the amount.”
“I have been doing quite well so far but, now, this is disruptive given that this is the fourth week with exams coming soon this month.”
“I have been denied access to class yet we are in the assessment period and all I can request is help from the various people who know me and how important this course is to my coaching career,” he added.
The former Express FC player is a CAF C license holder and he is pursuing a CAF B coaching license course that will enable him to coach in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
Allan Kabonge’s coaching journey
Kabonge has guided a record four teams from the FUFA Big League to the SUPL, Onduparaka (2016), Masavu FC (2017), Paidha Black Angels (2018) and Aurum Roses (2012).
However, the former Katwe United head coach has not been able to come up with any of them because of his lack of qualifications.
Kabonge’s most recent job has been at Kampala Regional League outfit Impala Hill FC, a side he parted ways within December 2021.
It is the first time since 2017 that FUFA is organizing the CAF B Coaching Diploma Course. The course has been absent for five years because CAF decided to assess all the coaching materials that were being used then.
