But I can\u2019t share much information until there is something more concrete from the talks,\u201d Gahigi told Times Sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur fans should be patient as we look for the right man for the job because these talks are not as straight-forward as some may think. We will let them know the outcome as soon as possible,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Djabir Mutarambirwa is taking charge of the club on interim basis until the new coach is appointed.<\/p>\n<p>Mutarambirwa previously worked with Nshimiyimana as the latter\u2019s assistant at AS Kigali before the club sacked them in December 2021 due to poor performance.<\/p>\n<p>Karekezi is also in contention for the top job as he pushes to land a coaching job he last assumed at Kiyovu before the club sacked him in May 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The former Rwanda international was spotted watching from the stands when Rayon Sports thrashed Musanze 4-1 during Tuesday\u2019s league game held at Muhanga Stadium as he waits for Bugesera\u2019s decision from his proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Karekezi had a successful career as a player at club and national team level but he has been unlucky to excel as a coach during his past stints with Rayon Sports and Kiyovu. But he still feels he needs another chance to prove his worth from the touchline once he lands Bugesera job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/rwanda\">Rwanda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
