The Venoms have been head and shoulders above the rest winning the league with four games to spare and leading second-placed KCCA by 15 points.

“Congratulations to Viper’s well-deserved winners,” Kajoba told scribes. “They have been the best side in the division by far,” he added.

“But they had no competitors, especially after the league didn’t have as many experienced coaches to counter Vipers.”

Kajoba, a league winner with Vipers in 2019/20 says that the absence of coaches like Sam Ssimbwa, Mike Mutebi, Wasswa Bbosa and himself, all-league winners meant the competition was lowered.

The Uganda Cranes goalkeeping coach also had no kind words for some tacticians who he described as not ready to lead big teams but hypocritically fought others behind their backs.

“I won’t mention names but those coaches now understand it’s not easy as they thought.”

Meanwhile, Kajoba picked Alex Isabirye and Paul Kiwanuka as the best coaches this season and BUL FC goalkeeper Emmanuel Kalyowa as his best goalkeeper.
