Cape Verde coach Bubista, who took the small island nation to the last 32 in their World Cup ‌debut last month, has been appointed coach at Morocco’s Renaissance Berkane, the club said yesterday. He has signed a two-season contract after protracted negotiations that included the possibility that ⁠he might stay on as Cape Verde coach and juggle the two jobs. The 56-year-old Bubista is, however, expected to quit the Cape Verde job in the next few days, according to media reports. They also reached ‌the ⁠African Champions League semi-finals last season, and will participate in the continent’s top club competition again. Bubista, whose real name is Pedro Leitao ​Brito, was ​named African ⁠Coach of the Year in 2025 after securing World Cup qualification ​for Cape Verde.
