To win the league last season, Vipers used three coaches. Roberto Oliveira’s departure to join Tanzania’s Simba SC led to the hiring of Bianchi.
Alex Isabirye’s tenure as Vipers SC head coach lasted 20 games and produced two major titles.
Appointed on March 12, 2023, to replace Beto Bianchi, the tactician helped Vipers to their first-ever league and cup double and was eventually named Pilsner SUPL Coach of the Season.
If that success was supposed to be the first step in the direction of a long-term affair between the two parties, one of the two must have taken a wrong turn.

FOOTBALL Villa secures Shs4 billion sponsorship deal, resurrects stadium construction plans
The sponsorship package worth $1,250,000 (over Shs4.5B) for five years will be unveiled on July 27th at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.
And in the end, Isabirye resigned a few hours to a scheduled Disciplinary Committee that was meant to call him to order for absconding from duty.
Winning the Startimes Uganda Premier League and the Stanbic Uganda Cup might have given Isabirye bargaining power, but at Vipers, you are never safe.
Many coaches have come and gone regardless of what they had achieved with the club, and Isabirye only joined a long list of coaches who have left the hot seat in Kitende.

To win the league, Vipers used three coaches. Roberto Oliveira’s departure to join Tanzania’s Simba SC led to the hiring of Bianchi.
Bianchi, however, lasted 58 days before he was shown the exit to be replaced by Isabirye.
Before Oliveira, there was Fred Kajoba, who said he left his role following a misunderstanding with Vipers Technical Director Charles Masembe.

He revealed that Masembe forced him to choose between Viper SC and the Uganda Cranes shortly after his return from a Uganda Cranes training session.
Between 2008 and 2019, Vipers also relied on the services of Edward Golola, who had three stints with the club.
Michael Nam Ouma, Javier Martinez, Miguel Da Costa, Abdallah Mubiru, George Nsimbe and Ambrose Chukuma are the other tacticians to have gone through the doors of Kitende as fast as they came.
With a new coach yet to be named by the club, the lingering question will be how long the incoming coach will last.
