Reigning Premier League champions have beefed their technical team with Raoul Lukusa Kayembe.
The 51 year old returns to Uganda where he played as a centre forward in the early 2000s at Mbarara United, Kinyara and KCCA and will work as assistant coach to Isabirye for the next two years.
“Kayembe is expected to boost the Alex Isabirye-led technical bench with his wealth of knowledge of the game on the African continent as the Venoms seek to become a powerhouse,” Vipers said in statement.
According to the club website, Lukusa boasts of enormous coaching which dates back to 2005 and has handled a number of sides.
He was coach of Butembo from 2005-2007, went to FC Mwanganza de Beni in 2008, Beni Sports in the era of 2013-2014 and AS Kabasha de Goma in the DRC.
From 2014 to 2015, Kayembe had a coaching role at AS Dauphin Noir de Goma before becoming the assistant coach there from 2016 to 2018.
From then on, he’s had coaching roles at AC Capaco de Beni (2018-2019), FC Etoile de Kivu (2019-2020), returned to AS Dauphin Noir in 2020, before joining AS Bantou de Mbuji Mayi for his most recent job.
It remains to be seen whether Richard Wasswa who has been the assistant coach to Isabirye remains as part of the technical staff at the club.
