Coaches Resign After FIFA World Cup 2026 Exits

Following the FIFA World Cup 2026, multiple national team coaches resigned after their teams faced early eliminations. Ronald Koeman stepped down as head coach of the Netherlands after a shocking round of 32 exit against Morocco, which ended in a penalty shootout.

He accepted responsibility for the disappointing campaign, citing personal circumstances, including his wife's illness, as influencing his decision. Tunisia's Sabri Lamouchi was dismissed after a humiliating 5-1 defeat to Sweden, with the Tunisian Football Federation quickly appointing Hervé Renard as his replacement.

Despite the managerial change, Tunisia failed to progress beyond the group stage. Scotland's Steve Clarke resigned after the team's group stage elimination, ending a successful era where he guided Scotland back to major international tournaments after a 28-year absence.

South Korea's Hong Myung-bo also resigned following his team's failure to qualify for the knockout stage, amid mounting criticism.
