Paul Put will sign next week,\u201da FUFA insider told <em>kick442.com<\/em>.<br \/>\n\u201cHe\u2019s not leaving Uganda. The project continues.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Staying the course<\/h3>\n<p>Put\u2019s decision to commit to Uganda marks a significant boost for the Cranes, who have enjoyed a revival under his leadership.<\/p>\n<p>The 68-year-old guided Uganda to qualification for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco, their first appearance since 2019, and has built a balanced squad blending youth with experience.<\/p>\n<p>His new contract will also cover Uganda\u2019s participation in the 2027 AFCON, which will be co-hosted by Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania \u2014 a symbolic homecoming that FUFA hopes will showcase the progress made under the Belgian\u2019s stewardship.<\/p>\n<h3>Cameroon links shut down<\/h3>\n<p>Despite growing speculation that he could be a candidate for the Cameroon job, Put\u2019s renewal effectively closes that chapter.<\/p>\n<p>His compatriot Marc Brys, who was appointed by the Cameroon Ministry of Sports last year, remains under pressure following a tense working relationship with the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) and failure to secure a direct qualification ticket for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>While Brys\u2019 future may still be uncertain, Put\u2019s is now clearly defined \u2014 firmly anchored in Uganda\u2019s long-term vision.<\/p>\n<h3><em>A proven hand to lead the Cranes at two AFCON tournaments<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>Paul Put\u2019s experience across Africa gives FUFA confidence. He previously led Burkina Faso to the 2013 AFCON final, earning widespread admiration for turning an underdog side featuring Jonathan Pitroipa and Aristide Banc\u00e9 into continental finalists.<\/p>\n<p>Since taking over Uganda, his tactical structure and emphasis on discipline have transformed the team\u2019s approach, bringing back belief to a side that had struggled for consistency in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>With his signature set to be inked next week, Paul Put\u2019s focus will now shift to fine-tuning his Cranes squad for AFCON 2025 in Morocco, before turning his sights toward East Africa\u2019s first-ever co-hosted tournament in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>For Uganda, it\u2019s continuity.For Cameroon, it\u2019s uncertainty. For Paul Put, it\u2019s commitment over speculation. So if Brys is going, Cameroon would be condemned to look elsewhere for a replacement.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
