Vipers SC begin life after Denis Lavagne with a potentially tricky Uganda Premier League assignment against Mbarara City FC today, Wednesday, as the Venoms attempt to steady their campaign following the Frenchman's departure.
Lavagne's exit after less than a season in charge has thrown the spotlight on Vipers' immediate response, with assistant coach John Ayala Luyinda and the remaining technical staff tasked with guiding the team through the transition.
The former head coach left by mutual consent on Saturday, October 24, following a goalless draw against Police FC.
Vipers sit sixth on the league table with 11 points from six matches, having won three, drawn two and lost once.
Mbarara City occupy 14th place and will be keen to exploit any uncertainty within the Vipers camp.
Elsewhere, KCCA FC host Lugazi FC at Lugogo, hoping to refocus on league business after an unusual interruption to their previous fixture.
The Kasasiro Boys' Matchday Seven encounter against UPDF FC on October 22 was abandoned after a floodlight failure at Lugogo.
KCCA subsequently apologised to fans and stakeholders over the incident while awaiting clarification on the status of the unfinished match.
Against Lugazi, the immediate task is to put that disruption behind them and concentrate on the points available on the pitch.
