Ex-Orlando Pirates head coach Milutin "Micho" Sredojevic has reportedly landed a new job after he left his role with the Uganda national team last month.

According to Pulse Uganda, the Serbian has been appointed as the new head coach of Libya after he left the Cranes role following a failure to help them qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Ugandan football federation at the time confirmed that the termination of his contract was by mutual agreement after he served two years in the role, overseeing 17 matches, of which eight were losses and four ended in draws, while he was victorious on only five occasions with the team.

It is said the 54-year-old has signed a two-year deal with Libya, and will replace former interim boss Salem Al-Jalali at the helm.

Micho is expected to be up and running in his new job by the next international break, with his new side set to kick off their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign against Eswatini and Cameroon on 13 and 20 November, respectively.

The tactician boasts vast experience on the African continent, having spent close to a decade in national team roles, while he also has a track record in managing at domestic level across various countries on the continent, including two spells in charge of the Buccaneers.

Although his second spell with Uganda fell glaringly short of expectations, his previous stint with the same side between 2013 and 2017 yielded a historic outcome when he guided the team to the 2017 AFCON finals in what was their first appearance at the tournament in 38 years.
