Bobista\u2019s appointment comes after weeks of negotiations between the Moroccan club and the Portuguese tactician. Discussions reportedly included the possibility of him managing both Renaissance Berkane and the Cape Verde national team simultaneously. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, the final agreement will see him focus exclusively on his responsibilities with the Moroccan outfit. The club did not reveal the contract duration or financial details, according to Goal.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Their memorable run came to an end after a thrilling 3-2 extra-time defeat to Argentina in the knockout stage.
