The managers brought down by the World Cup

When the World Cup rhymes with fatal.

From dream to nightmare. 

For many national team managers, the World Cup is the ultimate test, the moment of truth. Victory and continuity, or defeat and the guillotine. 

Since the start of this 2026 World Cup, several coaches have been fired or have resigned.

The list of coaches “victimized” by this American World Cup: 

• Ronald Koeman – Netherlands – Resigned (eliminated in the round of 16 vs Morocco)
• Marcelo Bielsa – Uruguay – Resigned (eliminated in the group stage)
• Hong Myung-bo – South Korea – Resigned (eliminated in the group stage)
• Steve Clarke – Scotland – Resigned (eliminated in the group stage)
• Sebastian Beccacece – Ecuador – Resigned (eliminated in the round of 16 vs Mexico)
• Miroslav Koubek – Czech Republic – Fired (eliminated in the group stage)
