Since the announcement of the coach's departure last month, CVs have been flooding in from coaches from around the globe, and according to reports close to the team, veteran French coach Bruno Ferry has emerged as one of the leading names to coach the team from the start of the new season.

The French coach's name appeared on the list as the club's top name to sign, although he is currently coaching AS Vita and was previously an assistant coach at Azam FC before taking charge of his current team.

"Former Azam FC assistant coach Bruno Ferry is rapidly making his mark as AS Vita Club's head coach. Under his leadership, the team has triumphed in Stream B of the DRC league and now prepares for the decisive championship match against Stream A winners. Ferry's remarkable achievements have put him on the radar of top clubs, with sources confirming an approach from South African giants Orlando Pirates - a testament to his growing reputation in African football. The upcoming CAF Champions League campaign offers another platform for the rising tactician to showcase his abilities."
