Seven national team coaches depart during the 2026 World Cup
Following the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, seven national team managers have left their positions. Marcelo Bielsa resigned as head coach of Uruguay, while Sabri Lamouchi was dismissed from Tunisia after an initial loss. Steve Clarke of Scotland and Hong Myung-bo of South Korea also resigned following their teams' failure to qualify for the round of 32. Additionally, Ronald Koeman stepped down from the Netherlands, and Miroslav Koubek left the Czech Republic position due to poor results. Sebastian Beccacece of Ecuador was also reported among the departures. The succession of exits included both resignations and dismissals, with Hervé Renard briefly replacing Lamouchi in Tunisia before the team's exit. These departures represent a significant administrative turnover during the early stages of the tournament.
