Mukura Vicy Sports, a top-flight side, is looking for a head coach to lead the club in the 2022/23 football season that starts on August 19.
Since Tony Hernandez, a Spanish tactician, left the club in Huye at the end of the 2021/22 year, the club is without a coach.
Jerome Gasana, the club technical director, told Times Sport that the club management is in talks with three coaches.
“Yes, we are in talks with three coaches but we cannot mention their names at the moment. We will announce the new coach as soon as we can so that he can prepare the team ahead of the national football league,” Gasana said in an interview.
Despite losing key players like Moise Nyarugabo, Mukura is not active in the transfer markets. He had an impressive season and attracted the attention AS Kigali who signed him at the conclusion of the season.
Assistant coach Canisius Nshimiyimana is currently conducting training sessions and there are reports that the reason club has not bought any players is because FIFA in January banned the club from signing any player or coach until they pay French-born Algerian tactician Djilali Bahloul.
Bahloul was appointed head coach of the Huye-based club in October 2020, but was later fired without being paid as his contract required.
Gasana, however, dismissed the reports and stated that they are trying to appoint a coach soon so he can sign new players.
“We haven’t been active in the transfer market because we want the coach to recommend the players he wants. The transfer market has not ended and we hope to bring in new players to fill the void left by the players who left,” he said.
