Former Vipers Sports Club Head Coach Roberto Oliveira has been appointed by Tanzania Premier League giants Simba Sports Club on an undisclosed contract.
Through their official social media platforms, the club welcomed Roberto.
“Welcome to the big Simba SC family, Coach Roberto Oliviera ‘Robertinho’,” the club said.
His appointment comes just days after he parted ways with the Kitende-based side.
Robertinho is not new to football in the region, having previously coached Rayon Sports and going on to reach the group stages of the 2017/18 CAF Confederations Cup.
Robertinho joined Vipers in August 2021 and helped the team win the Uganda Premier League title last season before qualifying them for the group stages of the ongoing CAF Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
He left the club in third place in the ongoing 2022–2023 UPL season with 27 points, just two adrift of table leaders KCCA FC.
