During the unveiling presser, Vipers president Dr Lawrence Mulindwa revealed that acquiring the Serbian gaffer is a huge milestone ahead of the dream of ensuring that Vipers become a professional club.
“Recruitment is a process that takes time and you have to do it very well. We feel this time round we got the right coach,” Mulindwa stated.
“We needed a professional coach. We needed a team player because Vipers is a family and we are doing everything to ensure that we keep the club on a professional path,” he added.
“We are trying to address most aspects that define a professional team. We believe in modernisation and that is why we want to put in place all that entails that, including the right technical team.”
