"That's their (reporters) job, because if they don't do that, where will they get money for feeding their kids," he mocked.
Following a series of rumours linking him to the exit at Vipers SC, head coach Alex Isabirye has confirmed he will stay glued in his position at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende.
The tactician made the clarification during the first day of preseason on Monday in his address to the players, before they got off with the intense training.
Isabirye was as clear as it gets, rubbishing the reports as baseless, insisting his only focus is to work to achieve with the Venoms.
"There are so many rumours going around that I have left the job, resigned, this and that," he told the team, in a video footage released by the club earlier on Tuesday.

"That's their (reporters) job, because if they don't do that, where will they get money for feeding their kids," he mocked.
"So, let's concentrate here, let's work, let's do the job," Isabirye rallied his charges.
Numerous reports late last week and earlier this week indicated that the tactician was orderd to work with a foreign coach which he declined, and that he would resign if the club insisted.

Isabirye had initially told Pulse Sports Uganda over a fortnight ago that he did not have any intentions of leaving the club and that he had a two-year contract remaining with the Venoms.
"I don't know why people talk about my contract situation, yet I have it, and it's existent," he said then before adding.
"I didn't sign for a month or two; i have a running contract. I signed a two and a half years' contract," he clarified.
Isabirye wrote himself huge in the history books at Vipers as he became the first coach to win them a domestic double.
He edged runners-up KCCA FC and third-placed SC Villa by goal difference and a single point, respectively to the Uganda Premier League.
In the Uganda Cup, he triumphed over Police FC after a narrow 1-0 victory at the Akii-Bua Memorial Stadium in Lira, in the final.
