Cape Verde coach Bubista resigns as Ivory Coast reappoint Renard
Head coach Bubista leaves Cape Verde after reaching the last 32 at the World Cup while Ivory Coast reappoint two-time Afcon winner Herve Renard.
Cape Verde's head coach Bubista has resigned to join Moroccan club RS Berkane, while Ivory Coast have reappointed Herve Renard for a second time. Bubista led Cape Verde to the World Cup's last 32, where they lost to Argentina after extra time. Renard, who has won the Africa Cup of Nations twice, took over Ivory Coast midway through the 2023 tournament and helped them secure the title.
The 57-year-old Renard's contract details are undisclosed. Meanwhile, RS Berkane, a relatively new club in Morocco, secured their first domestic league title in 2024-25 and have won the Caf Confederation Cup three times. Bubista's success with Cape Verde has raised his profile on the continent.
