However, reports further indicate that the former BUL FC tactician is unwilling to be demoted and could quit anytime.

According to reports, Alex Isabirye is considering resigning from his position as Vipers SC head coach.

The above development is emerging from a rumour that the StarTimes Uganda Premier League champions look forward to going foreign again.

Information leaking from the St. Mary's Stadium, Kitende suggests that the Venoms want to demote Isabirye to the position of an assistant coach.

However, reports further indicate that the former BUL FC tactician is unwilling to be demoted and could quit anytime.

Isabirye joined Vipers during the January transfer window, replacing the sacked Bianchi Beto. However, the details of his contract were undisclosed.

The above left many suspicious about his future, with many alleging that he signed a short-term contract to see the Venoms through the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign.

However, Isabirye talked to Pulse Sports last month, clarified his contract situation, and noted that he did not sign for a month or two and still has a running contract.

Alex Isabirye guided Vipers SC to their first-ever domestic double.

"I don't know why people talk about my contract situation, yet I have it, and it's existent," the tactician toldPulse Sports Uganda.

"I didn't sign for a month or two; I have a running contract," he added before clarifying further; "I signed a two and a half years contract."

Efforts from this reporter to reach out to Isabirye for more clarity on reports regarding the desire to resign were fruitless, as his known contacts went unanswered.

Whatever happens around Isabirye's future at Vipers, he will remain in the club's history books after guiding them to their first-ever domestic double in the Premier League and Uganda Cup.
