Managerial career

France

Didier Gomes Da Rosa began his managerial career in 2008 in his home country France and managed AS Roquebrune Cap Martin, ES Fos sur Mer and AS Cannes in the League of the Mediterranean till 2011.

Rayon Sports

He first moved out of France in 2012 to Africa and more accurately to Rwanda where he was appointed as the manager of Rwandan giants, Rayon Sports F.C. on a three-year contract. The club, nicknamed "Gikundiro" (the well-beloved), because of its popularity was in the relegation zone of the Rwanda National Football League after a disastrous start in the championship falling ten points short of league leaders and the club's arch rivals, Armée Patriotique Rwandaise F.C. Under the Frenchman's leadership, the Nyanza-based side made a spectacular comeback in the season which will be remembered by Rwandan football fans for the years to come. Seven months later, the Gikundiro thrashed rivals APR 4-0 in a historic win and were crowned the champions of the 2012–13 Rwanda National Football League.[2][3][4] He also helped his side win the Genocide Memorial Tournament in 2013 where his side faced La Jeunesse Football Club in the finals.[5] His side also participated 2013 Kagame Interclub Cup[6][7] but unfortunately lost 1-0 to Burundi's Vital'O FC in the semi-finals. The club after facing serious financial deficits parted ways with the French manager on a mutual consent.[8]

Coton Sport

He then moved to Cameroon in December 2013 where he signed a two-year contract with Cameroonian giants, Coton Sport FC de Garoua. Appointed as the General Manager as well as the head coach, his task was to prepare the team for the Elite One, Cameroonian Cup and also the CAF Confederation Cup. Soon the Frenchman led his side to championship glory as his side led the league table with more than a ten points. He also helped his young side win the 2014 Cameroonian Cup. He led his team to the semi-finals of the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup[9][10] where they bowed out to African giants and the eventual champions of the tournament, Al Ahly SC of Egypt.[11][12] In the following season, despite a six-point penalty, he managed to lead his young side to win the 2015 Elite One.

CS Constantine

Declining the proposal of renewing his contract with the Cameroonian champions, the Frenchman decided to move to Algeria where he committed himself to a contract for two-years with Constantine-based, CS Constantine[13][14] when the side was in the relegation zone just twelve days into the championship. He rescued the Algerian side from relegation in the 2015–16 Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 and his side was also adjudged the third best side in the second round of the championship.[15][16]
