Alain Gategabondo, a banker with BCR reckons that the Ghanaian has had the weakest squad of all coaches, who have been in charge of the national team in the last 10 years.

"We no longer have skilled players, the caliber of Jimmy Gatete, Olivier Karekezi, Hamad Ndikumana among others. But I think it was wrong to put such targets on the coach when the players we have are not good enough.

I watch all Amavubi matches and to be honest I feared the worst, am astonished that some people expected better than what the team did.”
