Overview
- Portuguese coach Pedro 'Bubista' has ended his six-year spell with Cape Verde after reports say he reached a final agreement to join Renaissance Berkane.
- Moroccan outlet Sport7 and AFP/Goal.com report the contract will run for two seasons and that Berkane demanded Bubista commit full time to the club, a condition that prompted his resignation from the national team.
- The appointment will be Bubista’s first club role after leading Cape Verde to its first World Cup, a round-of-32 finish at the tournament, and a 2024 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final.
- Renaissance Berkane hired him for his reputation for tactical discipline, tight defensive organisation and efficient attacking, and he must now adapt from episodic international work to daily squad management and multiple competitions.
- Reports so far are based on AFP/Goal.com and Sport7; the club had not published the contract or issued a full public confirmation at the time of reporting.
