Sredojevic was accused of sexually assaulting a barista during the 2020 COSAFA Cup tournament while coaching Zambia

Ugandan national football team Coach, Milutin 'Michu' Sredojević has been found guilty of two charges of sexual assault and consequently sentenced to 3 years imprisonment, suspended for five years.

The Serbian was Zambia's Chipolopolo tactician when the unfortunate incident occurred.

Micho, 51, had been accused of sexually assaulting the victim on December 7, 2020 during the COASAFA championship held in South Africa to a Chipolopolo staff while in camp at the Wolfson Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

Court documents indicated that on Monday, December 7, during the COSAFA games in Port Elizabeth, a 39-year-old woman in Port Elizabeth was delivering coffee at the Wolfson Stadium when she asked Sredjovic whether he would need sugar with his coffee.

Michu said no and disclosed that he needed another type of sugar while pointing at her private parts. The lady complained to her boss who in turn warned Sredjovic not to do it again. Later on that day the lady went to deliver coffee again at the same stadium and this time Sredjovic touched her buttocks.

His legal team has been granted leave to appeal the conviction.
