Sebastian Beccacece resigns as Ecuador coach after World Cup last 32 exit | OneFootball

Sebastian Beccacece has stepped down as Ecuador head coach after a 0-2 defeat to Mexico ended their World Cup campaign on Tuesday night.

“I would have liked to carry on, to win one more match today. I think the most important thing was to reach the objective we had set ourselves. Football is about results. I have to say goodbye to a wonderful family, with much gratitude, serenity and great inner peace, knowing we gave everything,” he said, speaking to DSports.

He made his decision public in the mixed zone following the last 32 loss.

Beccacece, 45, had been in charge since August 2024 and previously worked as an assistant to Jorge Sampaoli.

He qualified Ecuador for the tournament and took them out of the group stage for only the second time in their history, helped by a notable win against Germany.
