We are ready to bounce back and lift the spirits of this club,” added Sendege.The 59-year old tactician who is already chasing the signature of former Police striker Laudit Mavugo on a two-year contract is set to bring along three Burundian players whose identities are yet to be known.SC Kiyovu who are set to start pre-season training over the weekend have spent 20 years without any league trophy.Kanyankole previously coached Rayon Sports before moving  to Burundi where he guided Vital’O to a number of league titles and regularly qualified for the CAF Champions League.This year, he helped them oust 13-time Rwandan league champions APR in the preliminary round of the Caf Champions League and also edged the military side to lift the Cecafa Kagame Cup title in Darfur, Sudan this month.In 1999, he was in the technical team that helped Rwanda B win the only Cecafa Challenge Cup.
