This morning, Vipers Sports Club unveiled a new head coach, Nikola Kavazović, who replaces Livingston Mbabazi who according to Vipers President Lawrence Mulindwa went AWOL.
Kavazović brings a wealth of experience and a distinct tactical approach to the Uganda Premier League giants. The 48-year-old Serbian boasts a coaching career spanning over two decades across Africa and Asia.
Experienced Campaigner
Kavazović’s journey began in his home country, Serbia, where he coached at the youth and senior levels. He then ventured abroad, taking charge of clubs in Botswana, Ethiopia, South Africa, Tajikistan, and Sri Lanka. Notably, he led FC Istiklol Dushanbe to victory in the AFC Presidents Cup in 2012.
Attacking Mentality
Kavazović is known for his attacking style of play, prioritizing short passes, quick ball movement, and freedom for creativity in the final third. On the defensive side, he emphasizes zonal pressing and swift transitions.
Driven to Succeed
Currently pursuing his UEFA PRO Diploma, Kavazović’s commitment to professional development is evident. Fluent in Serbian, English, and Russian, he possesses excellent communication skills to lead a multicultural team.
Vipers FC can expect an exciting brand of football with Kavazović at the helm. His experience and tactical philosophy position him to bring success back to the club who missed out on silverware last season.
