SC Kiyovu have confirmed the sacking of Emmanuel Ruremesha and assistant coach Djabir Mutarambirwa (inset) following the signing of Olivier Karekezi as the new head Coach.

According to sources with the club management, Karekezi's main task is to win one of the two major titles competed for in domestic football - either the league of the Peace Cup - so the six-time champions can play continental football for the 2021-22 season.

Speaking to this publication in a telephone interview on Monday, Karekezi - without divulging details of his contract - confirmed that he will coach SC Kiyovu next season.

This will be Karekezi's second senior coaching job in local football after Rayon Sports whom he guided to two titles - Agaciro Cup and the Super Cup - during his brief spell with the club.

It is reported that SC Kiyovu's three major signings; Yves Kimenyi, Eric Irambona and Nigerian Samson Babua, were all a recommendation from Karekezi.
