On Friday, Andre Casa Mbungo was unveiled as the new coach of Gasogi United, a move that comes just a day after he parted ways with Rwandan giants Rayon Sports.
Published on July 6, 2020, Mbungo had joined Rayon Sports in February after leaving Ingwe due to financial difficulties. He was in charge of four matches before the coronavirus pandemic halted the Rwanda Premier League and other leagues globally, winning three and drawing one.
With his contract set to lapse in June and Rayon Sports reportedly facing financial problems, Mbungo was on the lookout for new opportunities. According to him, the team informed him they would not be renewing his contract.
"Rayon told me they are not going to renew my contract. Then I received a call from Gasogi. We talked for a few minutes and agreed on anything. My focus is here now. It is a newly promoted team but very ambitious. We want to win things here," Mbungo told Nairobi News.
Interestingly, Rayon Sports have also moved in swiftly and appointed immediate former Gasogi United coach Guy Bukasa to take over from Andre Casa Mbungo.
Mbungo recently expressed his desire to return to Kenya to coach in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL), citing some "unfinished business" in the country.
