Thomas Christiansen to weigh Panama future after World Cup exit

According to L'Équipe, Panama head coach Thomas Christiansen will take time to consider his position after their World Cup group-stage exit.

The 53-year-old suggested Friday's 0-2 defeat to England might prove his final match in charge, with Panama leaving the tournament after three losses.

After the game he said he needed time to analyse six years in Panama and to speak with many people, especially his family, which has felt his absence.

He added he was proud of how the side performed under him, yet they left the World Cup without a point or a goal.

Christiansen has led the Marea Roja since 2020 and previously managed Leeds and Union Saint-Gilloise, compiling a 23-13-12 record with Panama.

With or without him, he hopes Panama can regroup and be ready for what follows.
