A Brazilian, Robertinho, who helped Rayon Sports to win Rwanda's championship 2019 title, returns to the country after he spent his vacation in Brazil.

After award ceremony of the Rwanda's football  championship 2019, Robertinho left the team and went to take his vacation in Brazil. His leave faltered winning spirit of Rayon Sports because it was unable to win Rwanda's Peace cup 2019 title, with out his assistance, but rather it finished the tournament on the 3rd position. 

After the coach left for Brasil, it has been alleged that Rayon Sports looked for another coach to fill up the gap, assigning Olivier Ovambe who served as head coach. 

Though the team was in talk with Olivier Ovambe and decided to appoint him as a new coach but he was unable to help the team outperform in CECAFA Kagame cup 2019 tournament because it was beaten by KCCA in a quarter final match. 

After he arrived at Rwanda international airport, reporters squeezed to interview him but he calmed them down, saying, he has been in talks with Rayon Sports steering committee and that they reached positive agreement. 

'' There are so many things that we agreed upon to reach agreement and i prefer not to recite them,  a lot of people who love Rayon Sports called for me, begging me to return, i was really touched and decided to come back, i had to choose between Polokwane City of South Africa, A Brazilian team and Rayon Sports. I remembered my strong pact  with Rayon Sports and decided not to betray it,'' he said.
