Ecuador’s head coach Sebastián Beccacece leaves his role after Ecuador are eliminated from the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Round of 32 stage. Multiple outlets report that Ecuador lose 2–0 to co-hosts Mexico in Mexico City, ending their campaign with the team failing to reach the Round of 16. Immediately after the elimination, Beccacece announces his resignation/departure from the head coach position, with several reports quoting him reflecting that Ecuador did not achieve the objectives he had set for the tournament. At the same time, Yahoo Sports reports that the Ecuadorian Football Federation files a formal complaint with FIFA, which creates additional context around the coaching exit. Other outlets characterize the move as a post-elimination step down, placing Beccacece among several coaches who depart after World Cup results. Across the coverage, the central points remain consistent: Ecuador are knocked out by Mexico at the last-32 stage, and Beccacece confirms he will no longer continue as head coach following the defeat.
