Reports had made rounds on Friday that Mbabazi had been relieved of his duties, just three months into his two-year employment contract.
Confirmed developments from Uganda Premier League and Uganda Cup champions Vipers SC have disclosed that head coach Charles Livingstone Mbabazi has not been sacked, as had been initially reported by multiple outlets.
A senior staff at the club has told Pulse Sports Uganda, "All I know is Mbabazi is still the head coach of Vipers."
Reports had made rounds on Friday that Mbabazi had been relieved of his duties, just three months into his two-year employment contract.
Journalist Clive Kyazze, who broke the story, claimed that Mbabazi had failed to show up at the club for business after Vipers’ one-all draw with Soltilo Bright Stars FC at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende last Thursday.

Toby Sibbick: English-born defender called in Uganda Cranes' squad for Ghana, Comoros friendlies
He has played 17 Scottish Premier League games in the current campaign for Hearts, including playing 90 minutes in the 2-0 victory over giants Celtic last weekend.
He added that Mbabazi only returned for their Stanbic Uganda Cup round of 16 tie against Iganga Young FC, but club president, Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa, "who was away in the UK ordered that he should not be allowed near the team."
The order would stand until he presented a written explanation as to why he went AWOL, which the latter has until now failed to abide by.

"And because of that, sources close to Mulindwa indicate that Vipers have moved on from Mbabazi," Kyazze wrote on his X handle.
Earlier on Saturday, a Facebook believed to be Mbabazi's wrote; "I was told to write a formal explanation why I didn't show up for training for 3 days by the club which I did."

Meanwhile, it's far from certain about whether Mbabazi will be on the touchline against Wakiso Giants on Sunday at the St Mary's Stadium, Kitende.
