does anyone know who coached Vénuste Niyongabo, or who he trained with? I know that he trained in Italy for a good period of his career, so maybe Rentao can give us some insight. What was his training like? Maybe some examples.
Thanks

Good thread and whatever happened to him?
last i knew he was working for nike in europe/africa. he runs on one of their corporate H2C teams each August. someone at Nike running would surely know his whereabouts.

He was coached by Aouita (I think???) So look up his training.
He mostly avoided being killed in tribal warfare.
His career was ended by a chronic foot injury.
He had excellent range.
