Ecuador coach Sebastián Beccacece says he will leave his position after the team’s World Cup campaign ends in the last-32 stage. The Athletic, BBC Football and other reports state that Ecuador are eliminated following a 2-0 defeat by co-hosts Mexico in Mexico City. Beccacece’s announcement follows the conclusion of Ecuador’s run at the tournament, where the team fails to progress beyond the knockout round. Multiple outlets report that his departure is presented as a decision to step down from the head coach role after the loss. While the reports focus on the timing and the final match that ended Ecuador’s participation, they do not provide extensive detail on who would succeed him or whether an interim coach will be appointed immediately. Overall, the coverage agrees on the key elements: Beccacece is the head coach of Ecuador, the team is eliminated at the last-32 stage, and the immediate cause is Ecuador’s defeat to Mexico in Mexico City.
