Micho's appointment is now subjected for the approval from Ministry of Sports, the bankrollers of the coach's salary.

He has so far won 14 league titles in five different big clubs on the continent and other individual laurels for himself.
Micho also handled the Rwanda national team from 2011 to 2013 where he guided the Amavubi to the 2014 World Cup qualifications group stages.
Micho was appointed coach of Uganda in May 2013 and was able to qualify the Cranes to the Africa Cup of Nations for the very first time in 39 years before leaving the post in 2017.
