John ‘Ayala’ Luyinda has made an impressive start as the interim head coach of Vipers SC, securing three consecutive victories since taking charge.
His unbeaten run has revitalized the squad, restoring stability and confidence and reestablishing Vipers as a formidable contender in the Uganda Premier League (UPL).
Under Ayala’s leadership, the Venoms have achieved notable victories over defending champions Villa, Wakiso Giants, and Police.
Originally brought on as an assistant to Serbian head coach Nikola Kovazovic, Ayala stepped into the head coach role following Kovazovic’s departure, and his impact has been immediate and significant.
Currently, Vipers sit at the top of the UPL standings with 13 points from six matches, demonstrating the effectiveness of Ayala’s tactical approach and ability to motivate players.
This success has led to growing speculation about the possibility of him being appointed as the club’s permanent head coach, as fans express increasing optimism regarding his potential.
Looking ahead, Vipers will face Mbarara City on October 29th, where Ayala will seek to extend his perfect record to four wins in a row.
The match presents a critical opportunity for him to further solidify his case for a permanent position as head coach of the six-time UPL champions.
As Vipers continue to build momentum under Ayala’s guidance, all eyes will be on the upcoming fixtures and the club’s decision regarding their coaching future.
