Vipers Sports Club appointed Ivan Jacky Minnaert as their permanent head coach on Friday. The 58-year-old Belgian tactician signed a long-term agreement with the Uganda Premier League champions. Club officials did not reveal the contract duration.

John Luyinda and Fred Muhumuza will serve as assistant coaches under Minnaert's leadership. The pair previously guided Vipers as co-coaches during the 2024/25 season and secured a domestic double for the club. Their successful tenure earned them positions on the new coaching staff.

Minnaert arrives from Fassell Football Club in Liberia's top division. He led the team to the championship title last season with an 11-point margin over runners-up Heaven Eleven FC. The Belgian coach previously managed Al-Ittihad Tripoli in Libya's 2020/21 championship.

His coaching career spans multiple African nations and European clubs. Minnaert holds the UEFA Pro License, representing the highest available coaching certification. His experience spans various teams across Spain, Mali, Kenya, Rwanda, Guinea, and South Africa.
