Vipers delighted to unveil Kajoba as 14th coach in 14 years
Vipers Sports Club has unveiled Uganda Cranes goalkeeping coach, Fred Kajoba as their new tactician to replace Edward Golola who was shown the exit last week.
“This is part of the restructuring process. It is being done to have better results. We want to see Vipers Sports Club as one of the best teams in Africa and to achieve objectives in a given time. We are at times blamed for the changes but such changes have adverse effects,” Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa, the club president.

Despite being one of the biggest clubs currently in the country, the Kitende based club has failed to have an identity, a thing that has baffled Mulindwa for a number of years.
Speaking during Kajoba’s unveiling; the club president said he expects the new coach to bring this touch of identity at Kitende.
“Like it is in the music industry when artists are performing in theatres, fans leave very excited, it is not about winning, the quality of football matters. We need to be convinced about what is taking place,”Mulindwa said.
For Kajoba, the move was a moment he has been counting on for many years.
“I am a serious coach. I came here to perform. I have been yearning for this job for many years. I am a special one,”Kajoba said.
Kajoba has become the 14th coach for Vipers in 14 years.
