Cape Verde Coach Pedro Leitao Set for Moroccan League Move
Pedro Leitao, known as "Boavista," the head coach of Cape Verde's national football team, is reportedly nearing a managerial position with Morocco's Renaissance Berkane. This development comes after the team has been without a head coach since Tunisian Mouine Chaabani departed to take over his national squad. Renaissance Berkane, who recently secured a spot in the CAF Champions League by finishing as runners-up in the Moroccan Pro League, is looking to bolster their coaching staff with Leitao at the helm.
Discussions between Leitao and Renaissance Berkane appear to have progressed significantly, with reliable sources indicating that the two parties are in the final stages of negotiations. A near-final agreement on contract terms has been reached, with only minor administrative details left to finalize. If all goes according to plan, Leitao's contract with Renaissance Berkane could extend until the summer of 2028, marking a significant commitment for both the coach and the club.
Under Leitao's guidance, Cape Verde made a notable impression at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, reaching the round of 32 before being narrowly defeated by Argentina. This achievement has undoubtedly raised his profile, making him a sought-after figure in the football coaching scene.
