“As the executive, we can confirm Edward Golola as our next coach and we will give him all the support he needs this season,”Mulindwa told the players.
In his words, Golola expressed gratitude for the team that has seen grow from its infancy to where it is.
This is the third time Golola is returning to Kitende having been influential in all the three league titles that Vipers SC has, with two coming when he was the head coach (2009/10 and 2014/15) and the other as an assistant to Miguel Da Costa in 2017.
Golola will be deputised by Richard Wasswa, who also returns to the club for his third spell.
