The Moroccan tactician managed APR FC from 2019 to 2022, guiding the club to three consecutive league titles. Under his leadership, APR set a high bar in domestic football, including a remarkable 50-match unbeaten run in local competitions, which ended with a 1-0 defeat to Mukura in February 2022.

"I didn’t receive any official offer from any team in Rwanda,” Erradi told Times Sport in a phone interview.
