Etincelles FC have completed talks to sign Innocent Seninga as their new head coach as club hopes before the second round of the season kickoff on February 8.

Seninga is expected to sign a six-month deal with the Rubavu-based club with an option for an extension based on his performance. He left Djiboutian side Gendarmerie FC in December 2024 due to unpaid wages.

He replaces Mailo Nzeyimana to the hot seat after Etincelles FC terminated his contract in January due to poor performance.
