In response to his absence after the game against Iganga Young, Vipers claimed that Mbabazi "was down with malaria."
Uganda Premier League and Uganda Cup champions Vipers SC have moved separate ways with head coach Charles Livingstone Mbabazi, per reliable sources.
The developments come just three months since his appointment in the hot seat on a two-year employment contract.
As per senior journalist Clive Kyazze, Mbabazi failed to show up at the club for business after Vipers’ one-all draw with Bright Stars at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende last Thursday.
He apparently returned for their Stanbic Uganda Cup round of 16 tie against Iganga Young FC, but club president Lawrence Mulindwa, who was away in the UK ordered that he should not be allowed near the team.
