Cape Verde head coach Bubista has resigned to take charge of Moroccan club RS Berkane, while Ivory Coast have confirmed the return of Herve Renard for a second spell as national team coach following the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The 56-year-old guided Cape Verde to the last 32 of the World Cup, where they pushed eventual runners-up Argentina to extra time before losing 3-2. He replaces Moin Chaabani, who recently left the club after accepting the Tunisia national team job. Ivory Coast have turned back to Renard, the coach who guided the Elephants to the 2015 AFCON title. The 45-year-old took over after Renard, who had replaced Sabri Lamouchi during Tunisia’s World Cup campaign.
