Rayon Sports FC is undergoing a major rebuild as it eyes a strong campaign both in domestic competitions and on the continental stage in the CAF Confederation Cup.
As part of its technical restructuring, the club has been unveiling new signings to its coaching staff. Following the appointment of Afahmia Lotfi as head coach, Rayon has now brought in Bakame to take charge of the goalkeeping department.
The club's Football Administrative Director, Irambona Eric, confirmed the deal via social media, announcing that talks with Bakame had been successfully concluded.
Bakame had been with Bugesera FC since 2023, initially joining as a player before hanging up his gloves and taking on the role of goalkeeping coach.
However, towards the end of last season, as Bugesera prepared to face Rayon on matchday 28 of the Rwanda Premier League, he was suspended in a tactical move by the club.
This marks a homecoming for the 36-year-old, who previously donned the Rayon jersey as a player until 2018 before making a move to Kenyan giants AFC Leopards.
Over the course of his playing career, Bakame featured for several top clubs including APR FC, Police FC, AS Kigali, Tusker FC (Kenya), and Atraco FC.
He now replaces Mazimpaka André as Rayon's new goalkeeping coach, bringing both experience and familiarity back to the Blues' dressing room.
