Reports: Alex Isabirye's contract at Express nears end, talks to renew ongoing

Decorated tactician Alex Isabirye is in deep talks with Express Foot Club for a contract renewal, as per multiple reports.

Swift Sports has indicated that with his current contract ending on Wednesday this week, the club is keen to further tie him down at the club.

Isabirye joined the Red Eagles last month on a one-month contract, taking over from James Odoch, who was shown the exit door by the club.

He has since turned the club's fortunes around, winning each of the last four Uganda Premier League games as Express head coach.

After losing his first two games, he has beaten NEC FC (5-2), Vipers SC (2-0), Arua Hill SC (1-0) and Gadaffi FC (3-0), an impressive return which has spurred talks of a contract extension.

However, Isabirye's signature may not come easy as he has drawn interest from unconfirmed clubs from Ethiopia and Rwanda.

Isabirye won the domestic double of the Uganda Premier League and the Uganda Cup last season with Vipers SC.

That was before he exited the club under unclear circumstances towards the start of the 2023/24 campaign.
