Rwandese Gaffer Quits Tanzanian Club After Dispute Over $2000 Salary

Rwandese coach Jean Baptiste Kayiranga has called time on his association with Alliance Sports Club of Tanzania after dispute over his $2000 salary.

The erstwhile Rayon Sports coach agreed to take home US$2000 per month but the Tanzanian premier league outfit couldn’t meet the 49-year-old’s asking price.

Kayiranga lasted a mere two months on the club’s managerial helm before opting to leave on mutual consent following the side’s request he takes a pay cut – half of the agreed sum.

Speaking for the first time since departing the Mwanza-based team, situated in the North west of Tanzania, Kayiranga claimed he was even impulsively suggested to coach their female outfit – an offer he turned down.

“Before coming to coach She-Amavubi in Cecafa last month, they (club management) said they had no budget to sign new players at the moment and freed me for three weeks. I also had agreed I was not going to be paid for the month of July. Reporting back to the club from Cecafa, they abruptly suggested to me to manage their women’s team and take a cut-by-half salary – which I declined,” Kayiranga told Times Sport in Tanzania.
