Bubista has resigned from his post as Cape Verde head coach to join Moroccan club RS Berkane while Ivory Coast have hired Herve Renard for a second spell in charge. Bubista guided the island nation to the last 32 of the World Cup last month, where the Blue Sharks were beaten 3-2 by eventual runners-up Argentina after extra time. The 56-year-old also reached the quarter-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with Cape Verde, having taken charge in January 2020. Renard has won the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) twice as a coach including with Ivory Coast in 2015. Renard has had stints with Morocco, Saudi Arabia (twice) and France's women since leaving Ivory Coast in May 2015, and was in the dugout for Tunisia for two games at this year's World Cup.
