Beto has been appointed as the new coach of Cape Verde, taking over the reins of the Blue Sharks from Lucio Antunes, who has moved on to manage Angolan club Progresso Sambizanga.
Cape Verde showcased their potential during the recent African Cup held in South Africa. Led by Ryan Mendes and his teammates, they reached the quarter-finals of the competition before being eliminated by Ghana.
This emerging generation also made waves during the 2014 World Cup qualifiers by eliminating Tunisia. However, their journey was marred by controversy as FIFA disqualified them for fielding an ineligible player.
