Africa-Press – Rwanda. The future of APR FC head coach Thierry Froger will be decided at the end of the season, according to club Chairman Col Richard Karasira
The experienced French gaffer has guided the army side to their fifth league title on a row with three games to spare but his relationship with the fans has not been a good one to the point that he was booed on various occasions coupled with calls to sack him.
Some were not convinced by his team selection but the management made sure the Frenchman maintain his authority on who should start under nobody’s influence.
The relationship went from bad to worse when the fans’ turn up at the stadiums, which was commendable at the beginning of the season, started to fade, especially during the second round of the league.
