Kajoba and Vipers SC in numbers

Fred Kajoba parted company with league champions Vipers SC after sixteen months in charge.

The Uganda Cranes goalkeeping coach tenure ended on Monday after he opted to resign from his club job after he was told by Vipers SC technical director Charles Masembe to choose between club and country.

Under Kajoba, Vipers won the league title last season despite managing just seven games and leaves the Venoms two points behind leaders Express FC in the league this season and in the quarterfinals of the Stanbic Uganda Cup.

With the exception of Edward Golola, Kajoba’s reign ranks among the longest a coach has served in Vipers’ history.

Before Vipers SC, Kajoba spent over seven years at Soltilo Bright Stars stabilising the club and turning them into solid Premier League performers.

When appointed Vipers’ coach, many thought he would fail to cope with the vastly higher expectations at Kitende but he has relatively done well and unlike many that have been sacked at the club, he left when still needed with good numbers.
