Vozinha, the Cape Verde goalkeeper who earned plaudits for his World Cup performances, is set to join Chilean side Colo Colo.
The 40-year-old headed to the World Cup without a club after his contract with Portuguese second division side Chaves expired, but he became an overnight sensation by starring in a goalless draw against eventual champions Spain.
He has now found a new club, according to Colo Colo president Anibal Mosa.
“Vozinha will be a Colo Colo player,” said Mosa.
“In the coming days he will travel to Chile, undergo the usual medical examinations and then be presented here at the Estadio Monumental.”
Mosa said Vozinha’s World Cup displays showed he deserved the move, acknowledging the signing also carried marketing appeal for Colo Colo.
The club, based in the Chilean capital of Santiago, sit top of Liga de Primera – the country’s top division.
