APR FC midfielder, Blaise Itangashaka landed a hot slap from his coach Ljubomir Petrovic for failing to heed instructions following a barren draw in a “Peace Cup” match on Friday.
Frustrated by the draw against Mukura Victory Sports, the Serbian embraced violence, slapping a helpless Blaise as fans and media watched at Kigali Stadium, Rwanda.
The 71-year-old’s emotional outbursts are not new to close observers but going to the extent of slapping a player he relies on to deliver positive results left many surprised.

APR is an army side which is tightly controlled and it has not been fruitful trying to get comments from them.
