A former Burundi international, Bipfubusa has previously coached the Burundi U20, Aigle Noirs, Bumamuru FC among a host of other teams in his native country.

He is also not new to Rwandan football having handled then Primus National League side Espoir FC in June 2022.

Kiyovu has had mixed results this season, registering four wins, three draws and three defeats in their past 10 league games and the club management expects Bipfubusa to rebuild consistency and bring the club back in the title race.
