Englishman Stephen Constantine has been reappointed as the head coach of Rwanda's men's national football team, signing a two-year contract.
The 63-year-old will step down from his current role with Cypriot club APEA Akrotiri to take up the position on March 16.
Constantine previously managed Rwanda from May 2014 to January 2015 before moving on to take the helm of the Indian national team. The Rwanda Football Federation expressed confidence in his ability to bring “leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to advancing Rwanda’s football ambitions.”
Born in London, Constantine has built a diverse coaching career in various less conventional football destinations. Alongside Rwanda and India, he has also taken charge of teams in Nepal, Malawi, Sudan, and Pakistan.
Currently, Rwanda sits at 130th in the FIFA rankings and is aiming to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2027, an achievement they have only managed once before in 2004.
Constantine’s first match back in charge will be against Grenada in Kigali, part of the FIFA Series friendly tournament.
