A top Belgian football manager is reportedly in the race for Vipers Sports Club hot coaching seat.
The Vipers SC head coach position fell vacant following the resignation of Alex Isabirye after only four months at the Kitende helm.
According to an informant, Vipers are interested in the services of Luc Eymael. The Belgian, a former Polokwane City, Free State Stars, and Black Leopards coach in South Africa's top-flight football, is among the top candidates.
Eymael’s move to Vipers could reportedly revive his reputation following pressure from activists in South Africa who reportedly cost him the opportunity to coach major football clubs despite being cleared by a FIFA investigation.

Vipers Sports Club vacancy for the head coach position was made official Wednesday as Alex Isabirye formally threw in the towel following the club's decision to parade him before a disciplinary committee.
In 2020, the coach was involved in an alleged racist incident sparking a mass outcry. Last month, he was the favourite for the AmaZulu role, but alleged pressure from activists cost him the role.
