Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Belgian gaffer Ivan Jacky Minnaert has been named as the new head coach of Gorilla FC.<\/p>\n

The veteran coach was officially appointed on Monday, February 19, replacing Mussa Gatera who was fired on Sunday after failing to win a single match in Gorilla FC’s last five outings.<\/p>\n

Minnaert, 57, is not new to Rwandan football, having previously coached Rayon Sports on two spells (2015-16 and 2018) and Mukura Victory Sports in 2017.<\/p>\n

He will be tasked to revive Gorilla FC following a poor run of results which has seen them drop down to 14th position in the Primus National League table.<\/p>\n
