Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Bubista departed his position with Cape Verde before taking charge of the Moroccan side, marking a new chapter in the coach’s career following a landmark period with the Blue Sharks.

Bubista became widely recognised for his work with Cape Verde, where he helped strengthen the national team’s competitiveness and achieved a historic World Cup milestone.

His departure comes after a period in which he elevated the country’s profile on the international stage.

The appointment gives the Portuguese-born Cape Verde coach a fresh challenge in club football, where he will be tasked with guiding one of Morocco’s leading teams.

RS Berkane have established themselves as a major force in African football in recent years, competing strongly in domestic competitions and continental tournaments.

The club’s decision to appoint Bubista reflects its ambition to build on recent successes and maintain a competitive edge.

Before taking charge of Cape Verde, Bubista had experience in both club and international football, developing a reputation for tactical organisation and building teams capable of competing against stronger opponents.

His move to RS Berkane also highlights the growing connection between successful national team coaches and ambitious African clubs seeking experienced leaders.
