Haringingo last coached the Green Baggies during the 2021/2022 season where he guided the club to second place, losing the title to eventual champions APR FC by just one point.

The club is also close to agreeing a deal to sign Burundian veteran attacker Cedric Amissi. The deal could be finalized as soon as the club clears its outstanding debts owed to several players which prompted world football governing body (FIFA) to impose a transfer ban on the club.
