Cape Verde head coach Bubista has completed a move to Moroccan club RS Berkane, following a widely admired run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup that significantly raised his profile.
Bubista earned praise for the way he set up his Cape Verde side, combining discipline, structure, and belief to compete strongly against more established footballing nations. His team’s performances stood out not just for their results, but for their organization and confidence on the ball, both qualities that did not go unnoticed.
RS Berkane, a club with growing ambitions both domestically and in African competitions, moved quickly to secure his services. The Moroccan side views Bubista as a coach capable of building on their recent progress while bringing a clear tactical identity to the team.
For Bubista, the move from international football to club management shows an important and exciting new chapter. While national team football demands short bursts of preparation, the club game will test his ability to manage over a longer season, handle squad depth, and maintain consistency across multiple competitions.
His departure is a significant moment for Cape Verde, coming after one of their most memorable international campaigns. At the same time, it presents an exciting opportunity for Bubista to prove himself in a different environment.
As he takes charge at RS Berkane, expectations will be high, but so too is the belief that his calm leadership and tactical clarity can translate into success at club level.
