Meanwhile, it should be noted that weeks back, FUFA President Moses Magogo expressed his admiration of Traguil's style of play, stressing that he needed time to gel in at KCCA fully.

Following reports of FUFA's attempts to hire former KCCA FC head coach Sergio Traguil as Uganda U17 coach, the allegations have been watered down.

Reports asserted that Traguil had been spotted at FUFA earlier this week and that negotiations with the country's football governing body had commenced.

However, FUFA's Head of Communications Ahmed Hussein has now come out to refute the claims despite the seat being vacant.

"No truth at all, misleading information," Hussein responded to a tweet that linked Traguil to the Uganda Cubs job.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that weeks back, FUFA President Moses Magogo expressed his admiration of Traguil's style of play, stressing that he needed time to gel in at KCCA fully.

That was before he later parted ways with the thirteen-time Uganda Premier League champions after enduring a tough start to life in Uganda.

After just four months in the seat, the Portuguese was shown the exit at Lugogo following defeats in each of the four games in the league this season.

Traguil also saw KCCA get eliminated from the CAF Confederation Cup at the hands of Libya's Abu Salim.

The position with the Uganda under-age team is vacant after FUFA's declaration in March this year. Hamza Lutalo was the last person in the role.
