The 63-year-old will leave his current managerial role with Cypriot club APEA Akrotiri to take up the position on 16 March.<\/p>\n

Constantine had a spell in charge of Rwanda from May 2014 to January 2015 before he left to manage India.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Rwanda Football Federation said Constantine will bring “leadership, technical expertise and dedication to advancing Rwanda’s football ambitions”.<\/p>\n

In addition to Rwanda and India he has also managed Nepal, Malawi, Sudan and Pakistan.<\/p>\n

Rwanda are 130th in the Fifa rankings and bidding to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) for just the second time following their debut appearance in 2004.<\/p>\n

Constantine’s first match in charge will be against Grenada in Kigali as part of the biennial Fifa Series friendly tournament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
