The management of APR has called on fans to show some patience to the club in the wake of their recent poor results. The military side has had a slow start to the season, failing to record a win in their three recent games despite making major signings dominated by foreign players in what brought the club’s decade long ‘home grown players only’ policy to an end.

But Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Somalian minnows Gaadiidka FC in the CAF Champions League preliminary round first leg in Kigali didn’t go down well with the fans and some have started to ask the club’s hierarchy to sack him before it is too late and bring their former Moroccan coach Adil Mohammed back to replace him. It is not normal at APR to see fans booing their own coach like they did for Froger who has to respond quickly to get the team back and firing. The club management admits that the team’s recent form needs to improve but cautioned supporters to stay calm and give their coach time to build his dream team.
