Mukura VS have parted ways with Czech coach Tomáš Trucha just 24 hours after he arrived in Rwanda to take charge of the club.

Trucha had signed a three-year contract with Mukura VS and arrived in Huye on Sunday ahead of officially assuming his duties. He was set to replace Canisius Nshimiyimana, who recently left the club to join Amagaju FC.

However, shortly after his arrival, the Czech coach received another job offer, prompting both parties to mutually agree to terminate the contract before he officially began work with the team.
