When Spittler stepped down in December 2024, Amavubi was leading Group C in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers with seven points. Adel Amrouche, his successor, faces a challenging task as he embarks on a new era: building on the German's success.

 Amrouche, who assumed leadership of the national squad in early March, currently has Eric Nshimiyimana, a legend of Amavubi, in his backroom.

 Spittler has accomplished a lot during his tenure at Amavubi, according to Nshimiyimana, and he thinks there must be continuity even after he leaves the position.

He claimed that Amavubi is ready to go and that their position at the top of the table gives them an advantage over Nigeria.

 "Spittler started well and the team is in good position, I hope we can build on what he did by maintaining the team at the top of the world cup qualifiers," he said.

 Don't worry!

 The Super Eagles are in Kigali to win and increase their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.  However, even though Nigeria gathered all of their top players for the crucial match, skipper Djihad Bizimana said that doesn't place any pressure on Rwanda.

"There is no pressure because we have played against them previously.  We don't fear them; we merely respect them.  During a pre-game press conference on Thursday, Bizimana told reporters, "We are excited for the game."

 Rwanda would meet Lesotho in Kigali on Tuesday, March 25. A victory would put them at 10 points.
