Bubista has officially stepped down as head coach of Cape Verde and will immediately begin a new chapter in Morocco, where he has been appointed manager of RS Berkane.
The coach departs after leading the Blue Sharks through a historic World Cup campaign, an achievement that has left a lasting mark on both Cape Verdean football and the country’s sporting history.
His spell in charge brought a memorable period for the national team, with Bubista playing a central role in an episode that will remain significant for the Blue Sharks and for football across Cape Verde. Having overseen the side during its landmark World Cup journey, he now leaves the international post and moves into club management.
Bubista was not without a job for long. Soon after his departure from the Cape Verde role was confirmed, he reached an agreement with RS Berkane to become the Moroccan club’s new head coach.
The appointment gives RS Berkane a manager with recent international experience and a reputation for tactical discipline. Bubista is expected to bring those qualities to the club as it pursues its objectives in the Moroccan championship and in continental competitions.
He arrives in Morocco with considerable expectations. At RS Berkane, he will be required to establish his methods quickly, shape the team in his own image and compete on both domestic and African fronts. The club’s decision reflects its ambition to appoint a coach capable of adding international expertise and tactical structure to the orange side.
For Bubista, the move represents a fresh challenge after an important period at the head of Cape Verde. His work with the national team has made him one of the most highly regarded African coaches at present, and the RS Berkane position offers him the opportunity to test that standing in club football.
The Moroccan club will now look to the new head coach to continue its development while making a strong impact in the competitions ahead. Bubista, meanwhile, begins an exciting new stage of his career with responsibility for a team competing in the demanding environment of Moroccan and continental football.
His appointment brings together a coach coming off a historic international campaign and a club seeking to impose itself at home and beyond Morocco. The immediate task is clear: Bubista must transfer the experience and tactical rigour gained with the Blue Sharks to RS Berkane as he starts work on a new sporting project.
