Assigned the Uganda national team manager role in 2004 as part of an agreement between the Ugandan and Egyptian governments,[1] Abbas sought to put a sense of discipline into the squad upon arrival,[2] targeting a place at the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations.[3] However, despite leading the Cranes to a 2010 World Cup qualifying victory over Ecuador in 2006,[4] the Egyptian tactician was relieved of his duties by March that year[5] and was given an indemnification package worth 6000 US dollars following his dismissal.[6]

On account of Uganda's display at the 2005 CECAFA Cup, a number of African countries, including Ethiopia, Sudan, and Rwanda expressed interest in hiring Abbas as their head coach but he chose to remain with the Cranes.[7]
