Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Kenyan Sammy Mulinge is strongly linked with a move back to APR volleyball club for yet another stint as the army side\u2019s head coach.<\/p>\n

The club is in search of a new head coach sacking Elie Mutabazi who has been at the club during the past four seasons.<\/p>\n

Mulinge could now take his job back after he left the club in 2019 to be replaced by Mutabazi.<\/p>\n

Mutabazi helped the military side, among other notable achievements, win one league title in the 2020 season but the club was far from satisfied with his performance.<\/p>\n

Times Sport understands that, over the last couple of weeks, Mulinge has been in talks with the APR management and the two parties are close to reaching an agreement.<\/p>\n

A source close the club told Times Sport that the the club has been holding talks with the Kenyan and a deal has been agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMulinge will rejoin APR in the coming weeks, he has already agreed on personal terms with the club\u201d.<\/p>\n

In his 10-year stay in Rwanda, Mulinge guided APR to five league titles and a remarkable sixth-place finish in Africa Club Championships in 2014.<\/p>\n

APR is one of the established clubs in Rwanda and a semi-professional outfit enjoying massive support from the military. However the club has been struggling for dominance since the likes of Rwanda Energy Group (REG) and Gisagara VC came of age.<\/p>\n

Mulinge currently coaches Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) but it is understood that he is on the brink of a return to APR where is he is expected to coach his first game at the club when the league resumes.<\/p>\n
