While Mugerwa has only received Shs. 500,000 in 2021, it's reported that Micho earns a hugely exorbitant monthly salary of $24,000 (about Shs 84m).

"I have never been paid," Uganda Netball team head coach Fred Mugerwa made a daunting revelation as the She Cranes returned from the triumphant 2023 Netball World Cup.

It was indeed a dark-coloured reception at the Serena Hotel, Kampala on Monday in what initially promised a joyous atmosphere, after Uganda had clinched top-spot in Africa and fifth in the world.

"To me I think, enough is enough. I may not renew my contract. It's a bitter note because I cannot be abused and not get paid," Mugerwa said, with a remarkable disappoinment.

This has sparked rage among Ugandans, going ahead to juxtapose the case with Uganda national senior football team head coach Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic.

While Mugerwa has only received Shs. 500,000 in 2021, it's reported that Micho earns a hugely exorbitant monthly salary of $24,000 (about Shs 84m).

Social Media has thus compared their respective successes, asserting that it's Mugerwa that should be taking home the millions instead of the Serbian.

While it's the case, another section believes it should be a point of prioritizing all the various sports sects rather than the comparisons.
