Belgian gaffer Ivan Jacky Minnaert has been named as the new head coach of Gorilla FC.
The veteran coach was officially appointed on Monday, February 19, replacing Mussa Gatera who was fired on Sunday after failing to win a single match in Gorilla FC’s last five outings.
Minnaert, 57, is not new to Rwandan football, having previously coached Rayon Sports on two spells (2015-16 and 2018) and Mukura Victory Sports in 2017.
He will be tasked to revive Gorilla FC following a poor run of results which has seen them drop down to 14th position in the Primus National League table.
Minnaert, who has been on the African continent since 2002, has also coached clubs including Black Leopards, AFC Leopards and Ittihad Tripoli among others.
The most recent club that he coached before moving to Gorilla FC was Djoliba of Mali.
