Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Saturday, October 18<\/b><\/p>\n

6:00PM: Rayon Sports vs Rutsiro FC<\/p>\n

Venue: Kigali Pele\u0301 Stadium<\/p>\n

Rayon Sports will be looking to put their internal chaos and focus on returning to winning ways when they take welcome Rutsiro FC to Kigali Pele\u0301 Stadium on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The Blues management has been divided over the club president Thade\u0301e Twagirayezu’s decision to suspend head coach Lotfi Afahmia due to a poor run of form in domestic and continental competitions.<\/p>\n

With Lotfi now suspended, interim coach Haruna Ferouzi will be looking to revive the club’s form after going four games without a win.<\/p>\n

They are however, facing a Rutsiro FC side which has failed to win a single match since the start of the season and club coach Radjab Bizumuremyi may also face the sack if he fails to win the match which is one of three matches he was given to save his job.<\/p>\n

Whatever the situation might be, beating Rutsiro puts the Blues in a position to boost their ambitions for the new season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to win this game so that we can bring back hopes from our fans. It is hard to have fans in stadium when you are not winning but we need to start with Rutsiro and keep the momentum in the coming matches,\u201d said captain Ali Serumogo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to push ourselves to the limits and win this match which I believe can boost our morale and bring back the winning spirit in our team,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
