Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>After four matches in charge, the true identity of KCCA coach Jackson Mayanja has come to the fore.<\/p>\n

There were lingering doubts pertaining his coaching ingenuity and nerves to handle a top club.<\/p>\n

That debate might have been settled on Friday as Mayanja literally run berserk following KCCA’s 1-0 loss to title rivals Vipers at the St Mary’s Stadium-Kitende.<\/p>\n

It is still the same old Mayanja.Proud, paranoid, tactically inept and ever ready to pass on blame.<\/p>\n

The wins over SC Villa and Gaddafi have been followed by a shaming draw with Onduparaka and a hurting loss to Vipers.<\/p>\n

Against the Venoms, Mayanja’s charges lost their heads and the frustration was summed up by Congolese striker Simon Kankonde get a red for punching referee Mashood Ssali after the match.<\/p>\n

KCCA’s best two chances fell to playmaker Allan Okello who hit the post and wasted the other one on one opportunity.<\/p>\n

Vipers coach Alex Isabirye stuck to his long ball approach while for KCCA it was the end justifying the means.<\/p>\n

Milton Karisa’s late strike took Vipers to second spot with 45 points from 23 matches and relegated KCCA that has played a game more to third with same point tally.<\/p>\n

SC Villa still top the StarTimes Uganda Premier League table with 46 points from 25 matches.<\/p>\n

No dressing room control<\/b><\/p>\n

Mayanja was recruited to restore sanity in the KCCA dressing room after Morley Byekwaso admitted it was to heavy for him.<\/p>\n

The unbecoming demeanor exuded by some KCCA players and Mayanja at St Mary’s Stadium-Kitende shows the rot is deep.<\/p>\n

KCCA defender got embroiled in a brawl with Vipers goalkeeping coach Ibrahim Mugisha that led to the latter being shown marching orders.<\/p>\n

Mayanja couldn’t serenade his boys and was also booked after confrontation with fourth official Shamirah Nabadda at the touchline.<\/p>\n

In a boastful way, Mayanja turned his anger to the media after the match and uttered some expletives to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best team lost. I want to put it on camera (sick) and I will not fear anyone. Mr. Mashood (Ssali) is a problem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He stormed out of the pressroom when pressed by journalists to elucidate where exactly Ssali had erred.<\/p>\n

Mayanja’s tirade is obviously detrimental to KCCA’s title quest considering he was brought in to restore calm and make use of the remaining eight matches.<\/p>\n

Next up for the Kasasiro Boys is a daunting trip to Wankulukuku to face Express on Saturday and that will require thorough soul searching and refocusing.<\/p>\n

Tricky ties against Bul, Busoga United and Soltilo Bright Stars lay in wait for Mayanja.<\/p>\n

Vipers in cruise control<\/b><\/p>\n

Alex Isabirye’s charges visit Soltilo Bright Stars on Tuesday at Kavumba and then head to Arua to play Onduparaka with a huge possibility of overtaking Villa.<\/p>\n

They will then embark on the last three matches against Express, Bul and Busoga United in a title race that is now theirs to lose.<\/p>\n
