Reports: Alex Isabirye set to leave Express after Fans' insults
The impressive results that included a winning run of four games earned him praise from the 'Mukwano Gwabangi' faithful and the sudden turn of events as a shock.
The manner in which they conceded late in the games against KCCA and Mbarara City FC has also raised a bit of red flags for Isabirye.
Also against KCCA, a number of Express fans attacked him with verbal insults, and some almost physically assaulted him, while others questioned his tactics, substitutions and approach.
Efforts by Pulse Sports Uganda to reach Isabirye to ascertain the claims have been futile, as he didn't receive the calls on his known numbers.
Initially, Isabirye joined Express in December on a one-month contract and impressed as he won four of the six games in that spell.
