Etincelles FC has dismissed head coach Masudi Djuma and his technical team, appointing former technical director Bizimana Abdou (Bekeni) as interim coach. The Rubavu-based club cited poor results as the reason for the shake-up.
The move comes after Etincelles FC ended the first half of the Rwanda Premier League season at the bottom of the table with 11 points from 17 matches. A 1-0 loss to Mukura VS in Matchday 18 intensified pressure on Djuma, who had joined the club in December 2025, taking over from interim coach Lomami Marcel.
The club said Abdou, a familiar figure who previously coached Etincelles on several occasions, including in March 2022, will lead the team while the search for a permanent head coach continues.
Etincelles FC returns to action on Saturday, February 7, 2026, hosting Musanze FC in Matchday 19 of the Premier League.
