Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>IT will be a tough test for AS Kigali head coach Andre Casa Mbungo when he faces his former club Police FC in the semifinal of this year\u2019s Peace Cup tournament on Thursday at Kigali Stadium.<\/p>\n

The clash between AS Kigali and Police FC is at 3pm and Mbungo will be hoping to eliminate Police over two legs.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old won the Peace Cup with Police in 2015 after moving from AS Kigali<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t expect emotions from me when I face Police. I\u2019m at work and it\u2019s my duty to perform better and win the game.\u201d Mbungo said<\/p>\n

Mbungo stands out as the only coach in Rwandan football to have won Peace Cup titles with more than one team; having delivered to AS Kigali the trophy of the country\u2019s second biggest football tournament in 2013 before replicating the feat with Police in 2015.<\/p>\n

He previously coached AS Kigali, SC Kiyovu, Police FC, Gasogi United and also Kenyan giants AFC Leopards and Bandari.<\/p>\n

Police coach Francis Nuttall Elliot says his team is ready for the challenge and pointed out their desire to win the tournament so as to get a taste of continental football next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to win our games in this tournament and so far so good, we reached the semifinals. We expect a very tough game on Thursday, but we will be ready for the challenge against the best team in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The winner will represent Rwanda in next year\u2019s CAF Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n

AS Kigali won the last title of the Peace Cup in the 2018-2019, after beating Kiyovu Sports 2-1.<\/p>\n
