Police FC have appointed Moroccan coach Rkyer Jaafar as their new head coach on a two-year contract running until July 2028. Jaafar takes charge of a Police FC side seeking a strong response after a disappointing 2025/26 campaign, in which the law enforcers finished sixth in the Rwanda Premier League and missed out on qualification for both the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup.
