Abdu Mbarushimana has resigned as Rayon Sport assistant coach after the team lost the first three matches in the 2012/13 Primus National Football League season.The former Nyanza FC coach told Times Sport on Thursday that the pressure of losing all three matches influenced his decision to throw in the towel."He (Mbarushimana) decided to leave the club because he says that there’s too much pressure from fans, now we have one coach (Ali Bizimungu),” Abdallah Murenzi told journalist on Thursday.Since moving back to their original home in Nyanza after 26 years spent in Kigali, Rayon started the season with a home loss against Amagaju 1-2 before being humbled by AS Kigali 3-1 and lost again against La Jeunesse 0-1. Team has been trying hard to sign new players including Cedric Amisi (Prince Louis of Burundi), former Kiyovu midfielder Hussein Sibonama and Etienne Karekezi (Osters, second division in Burundi). "It is like we are starting the league, we have lost all three games but we need to fight back. The players must fight for the jersey,” Bizimingu noted.The club management is reported in talks with several high profile coaches including Raoul Shungu, Uganda’s Sam Timbe, Frenchman Christophe Gomez and Burundian Cedric Kaze.
