In a dazzling move, Alex Isabirye has officially inked a permanent contract with the illustrious Express FC, a team that boasts seven championship titles in its repertoire.
Isabirye, the tactical maestro who orchestrated last season’s title triumph with Vipers, seamlessly transitioned into the role of interim coach for the Red Eagles, steering them through the last six games of the first round.
His coaching prowess shone through as he clinched victory in four clashes but tasted the bitter pill of defeat twice, courtesy of Villa and Kitara.
Undeterred by setbacks, Isabirye masterminded triumphant encounters against formidable opponents like Vipers, NEC, Arua Hill, and Gaddafi. These victories catapulted the Red Eagles to a commendable 6th position on the log, accumulating 25 points – a mere seven points adrift from the summit, currently occupied by the leaders, BUL.
Isabirye, a seasoned strategist, has a storied coaching history, having previously commanded the sidelines for BUL, URA, SC Victoria University, Kyetume, and other notable teams.
His journey through the echelons of football management is a testament to his acumen and tenacity in navigating the unpredictable terrain of the beautiful game.
