Although the Portuguese coach, Da Costa recently won the league title for the club, he was fired after spending one year and 5 months as the head coach for Vipers SC, according to Nile Post.

During the presentation ceremony, the Club president, Lawrence Mulindwa said that Vipers didn’t achieve much as they expected, it’s an expensive venture to change the Coach, as they needed a Coach who teaches and adds value to the footballers.
