I can\u2019t say he was the best coach either but speaking of witch, we lack many other things,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rwanda lacks qualities when you compare to where we want to be (AFCON), we always see these comments whenever the coach releases squad lists, people are claiming why some players have been called-up while they are not playing in their respective clubs while others are even without teams for six months.<\/p>\n<p>On one hand, I understand his lack of options but on the other hand, there games he would not have lost looking at his opponents and the qualities he had.<\/p>\n<p>Honey Divine Gitego, secondary school student<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, you cannot convince me that Ferrer did better than Vincent Mashimi. So I think he should have left after completing his first two-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>If we need to be at the AFCON or other big tournaments, we need a coach who has been there not once but constantly, a coach who has proven himself at big stages with a great understanding of modern football.<\/p>\n<p>Clovis Mutabazi, sales agent<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t the problem at all, I don\u2019t think Belarus is stupid enough to appoint a man who failed in a team like Amavubi.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, FERWAFA and the Ministry of Sports should start bringing in experienced foreign players to join the national team as they look for a new structure to produce and integrate our home grown talents in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Ange Nyiraneza, university student<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing to celebrate in his departure. We have had more than five coaches in the past decade and none of them took us to the AFCON or World Cup, only Stephen Constantine so close.<\/p>\n<p>Today he leaves and we are not going to miss him, the team made no significant improvement during his time as the coach.<\/p>\n<p>If we can\u2019t produce a strong team in one year, then let\u2019s have a great coach who can milk the maximum from the players we have because I don\u2019t think we have the worst squad on the continent to lose every game like it happens.<\/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>Alexis Kayinamura Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
