A fortnight ago, Mbungo informed AS Kigali management about his desire to leave, claiming that his squad is not good enough meet his ambitions.<\/p>\n

In addition, it is reported that the coach on several occasions asked the club to address persistent financial problems that saw players go two months without getting salaries, hence affecting their performance on the pitch.<\/p>\n
