Vipers Sports Club vacancy for the head coach position was made official Wednesday as Alex Isabirye formally threw in the towel following the club's decision to parade him before a disciplinary committee.
According to a reliable source, Vipers have been in talks with former TP Mazembe coach Frank Dumas. Dumas is reportedly the Vipers' first choice for the head coach role and favourite.
Ironically, Dumas lost his job at TP Mazembe last season after the Uganda champions eliminated his side to make it to the CAF Champions League group stage. Vipers are also said to be in talks with a yet-to-identified Brazilian coach.
