World Cup Star Bubista Appointed as RS Berkane's New Coach
In a significant development for Moroccan football, Pedro Leita Brito, popularly known as Bubista, has been appointed as the new head coach of RS Berkane. The 56-year-old strategist has signed a contract with the Moroccan club that extends until 2028, indicating a long-term vision for the team. Bubista previously made headlines for leading the Cape Verde national team to their first-ever World Cup appearance, where they showcased remarkable performances, including a draw against Spain and a near-victory over Argentina in the knockout stages. His leadership during the 2025 national championship in Morocco, where RS Berkane clinched the title, further establishes his credentials, as he was also recognized as the African Coach of the Year during that season.
The End of an Era for Cape Verde
With this new role, Bubista concludes his tenure with the Cape Verde national team, an adventure marked by significant achievements. Under his guidance, the team not only qualified for the World Cup but also left a lasting impression on the global stage, battling against elite teams and earning respect for their tenacity and skill. Bubista's ambition was to demonstrate that even small nations like Cape Verde can achieve greatness in football, a vision he has made a reality. His upcoming challenges will now involve working closely with players such as Mounir Chouiar, a former standout for Lens and Dijon, as he aims to bring RS Berkane to new heights in Moroccan football.
