Without a club since leaving FC Porto last season, Vítor Bruno is close to returning to action to take charge of Pafos. The Portuguese coach has emerged as the main candidate to succeed the current manager of the Cypriot club, Juan Carlos Carcedo, who is about to head to Spartak Moscow. Pafos has several Portuguese players in its squad, such as Pêpê, Domingos Quina, and Alexandre Brito—on loan from Sporting—as well as former Benfica defender David Luiz.
As the title holder, Pafos is in second place in the Cypriot championship, two points behind leaders Omonia, and remains in the Champions League, ranking 26th in the league phase. Outside the playoff qualification spots, the Cypriot club has six points, equal with Benfica, having recorded one win, three draws, and two losses. In the upcoming challenges, they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and a final home game against Slavia Prague, in an attempt to secure a place in the next stage of the European competition.
