The club, however, said a caretaker technical team will be appointed up to the end of season as they look at their next option for a full-time coach.

This is the fourth time Golola and his entire coaching staff are shown the exit at 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.

The latest is the third time in less than seven months that the technical team at Kitende has been shown the exit.

The latest sacking stems from the two defeats inflicted on Vipers by SC Villa at home in Kitende in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League and dramatic exit from the Stanbic Uganda Cup on Wednesday at the hands of minnows, Kajjansi United in a penalty shootout.
