RWANDA national football league side Kiyovu Sports are interested in bringing former Amavubi Stars coach Eric Nshimiyimana as their manager next season.

The development was confirmed by Kiyovu Secretary General Mudi Byumvuhore on Friday.

"Yes it’s true, we are in talks with the coach and so far so good but I can’t precisely say he is or will be our new coach until he is signed. We have also talked with other managers, in a week’s time we shall come to a conclusion and decide who the new coach is,” Byumvuhore told Sunday Sport.

One of the oldest league sides, Kiyovu SC are currently under tutelage of Ashirafu Kadubiri after the departure of Gilbert Yaoundé Kanyankole, who went back to Vital’O of Burundi after one season at the club.

Kiyovu are set to face 14-time champions APR in this year’s Peace Cup semi-finals return-leg clash on June 27 after suffering a 3-1 defeat in the first-leg match.

Former APR coach Nshimiyimana is out of work since leaving the Amavubi Stars hot seat when his contract expired last month and he was almost immediately replaced by Englishman Stephen Constantine.
