The decision was unanimously taken by the CCB's board of directors, chaired by Nuno Vassallo e Silva, based on recognition of the "quality and strategic vision presented in the application" for the position proposed by Serge Rangoni, which will begin on February 2, 2026, for a four-year term, according to the statement.

In choosing the director and cultural manager, who will replace artistic programmer Aida Tavares, "Serge Rangoni's vast experience as an artistic director and cultural manager, acquired both at the Liège Theatre and at the Grand-Hornu Museum of Contemporary Art in Mons," also weighed heavily, the statement adds.
