Angolan striker Mabululu, known off the pitch as Agostinho Cristóvão Paciência, has inked a substantial three-year extension to his contract with Egyptian side Al Ittihad Alexandria. The news was officially confirmed by a reliable source within the board of directors of the club, emphasizing the forward’s integral role in the team’s offensive prowess.
The extension comes at the culmination of Mabululu’s existing contract, signaling his dedication to Al Ittihad Alexandria until the culmination of the current season and extending well into the subsequent three seasons.
Despite fervent interest from multiple clubs in Saudi Arabia, Libya, and Turkey, Mabululu opted to prolong his tenure with the Egyptian outfit.
The 31-year-old striker, who made the transition to Al Ittihad Alexandria from Angolan side Agosto in September 2021, has showcased an impressive goal-scoring record.
Accumulating 36 goals in 65 matches across various competitions, Mabululu has proven to be a pivotal force on the field.
His current season’s performance boasts six goals in seven matches, underscoring his continued effectiveness in finding the back of the net.
Mabululu’s commitment to Al Ittihad Alexandria is particularly noteworthy, given his recent contribution to Angola’s national team during AFCON 2023.
Despite an unfortunate exit after a 1-0 defeat to Nigeria in the quarter-finals, Mabululu played an instrumental role in guiding Angola through the earlier stages of the tournament, garnering attention and interest from diverse football landscapes.
