THE Rwanda Football Association (Ferwafa) is set to finalise talks with English coach Stephen Constantine to take charge of Amavubi as the new national coach. 

According to Ferwafa, the talks will be finalised over the weekend in Tunisia where Rwanda play away to Libya in the 2015 Africa Nations Cup qualifiers, first round match. 

"After talking to different coaches who had expressed their desire to manage Amavubi, we have talked and agreed in principal with Constantine to take over the job,” Ferwafa revealed in a statement yesterday. 

"However, there are a few details we need to discuss with him before he can officially be unveiled as the head coach,” added the statement which was also posted on the federation’s official website. 

Ferwafa and Constantine will hold the final talks in Tunisia where he preferred to seal the deal after watching the qualifying match between Libya and Rwanda, which will be handled by assistant coach Andre Cassa Mbungo. 

Constantine has a vast and wealthy football resume. 

He has managed the national sides of Nepal (1999-2001), India (2002-05), Malawi (2007-08) and Sudan in 2009. He has been first team coach of the English Championship side Millwall for the 2005/06 season. 

Most recently, he managed Nea Salamis in the Cypriot First Division, guiding them to promotion from the Cypriot Second Division. He holds the Uefa pro licence, and, as a member of Fifa’s elite coaches panel, he runs courses around the world for coaches and instructors.
