Several national team coaches leave their roles after being eliminated from the FIFA World Cup 2026, with outlets reporting that eight coaches have stepped down or resigned since their teams exited the tournament. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Portugal head coach Roberto Martinez is the latest to confirm his departure, following Portugal’s 1–0 defeat to Spain in the World Cup Round of 16. Vanguard (Nigeria) similarly says the “fallout” continues to grow and that Martinez becomes the eighth coach to leave after elimination. The Punch lists eight coaches who resigned after their countries’ World Cup exits, naming both Martinez and Carlos Queiroz among those who depart. Across the reports, the common theme is that coaching changes are occurring immediately after elimination, with decisions communicated by the respective managers or reported as resignations following the end of their teams’ campaigns. The specific exits occur at different stages of the tournament, but the reported number of departing coaches remains consistent among the three outlets.
