This will be his third stint at the Eastern giants, with his first coming between 2015 and 2016.
He was re-signed as head coach in April 2021 and stayed until 2023, winning theUganda Cup title and qualifying for, and playing in the CAF Confederations Cup for the first time.
He later left in March 2023, taken by Vipers SC for whom he won a double (league and Uganda Cup) that very season.
Isabirye is also a previous Uganda Cup winner with SC Victoria University, and a league champion with URA FC.
His previous stints included Nyamityobora, Kyetume, Busoga United, Tooro United and Express FC in the Uganda Premier League.
