Sunrise FC have handed a two-week suspension to head coach Innocent Seninga and his assistant Gilbert Tugirimana following the club's persisting poor run of results in Rwanda Premier League.

The Nyagatare-based club has failed to record a single victory in the last four matches they played during the second round of the league, having drawn once, against Bugesera, before suffering three consecutive defeats including a 2-1 home loss to relegation-threatened Marines FC last weekend.

Seninga also watched the team lose 1-0 to APR before falling to a 3-0 thrashing by Gasogi.

The tactician and his deputy were as a result asked to step aside in the next 15 days as the club pushes to return to winning ways.

In their absence, club technical coach Evariste Ntamugabumwe will be taking charge of the team on an interim basis. He will be expected to turn results around ahead of their next two games against AS Kigali and Police.

Seninga qualified Sunrise FC back to the Premier League and appended his signature to a new two-year deal in July 2022.
