Amavubi Stars coach Tetteh, the also doubles the U-23 head coach, will assume the responsibility of managing the team. He takes over from his assist Eric Nshimiyimana, who was in-charge of the team in Laska over the weekend. The Ghanaian missed the first leg, and despite the defeat, he won’t have any regrets as he enjoyed a convincing 3-1 home triumph over neighbors Burundi with the senior teams in Group H Africa Nations’ Cup qualifier.Following the loss in Lusaka, Rwanda needs a 3-0 goal margin to proceed to the next round.
