The combustible former Atraco FC assistant coach revealed to Times Sport that his decision follows the club’s failure to renew his contract and pay salary arrears for the last three months. “I have called Rudatsimburwa so many times but he never picks up my calls. I sent him so many messages but he never replied any of them so I have now taken a firm stand to resign,” a frustrated Ruremesha said.Efforts to reach Rudatsimbura were futile by press time. Ruremesha is the second coach to resign from the club in a space of three weeks. Andy Mfutila who once guided APR to two league titles went AWOL (Away without official leave) early this month after penning a renewable six-month contract.
