Ecuador’s head coach Sebastián Beccacece announced his departure from the national team following their 0-2 defeat to Mexico in the Round of 16 at the World Cup.
He expressed his emotions in his characteristic vivid style on the social platform X:
“Our World Cup journey ended today. We couldn’t fulfill our promise or deliver the best World Cup performance in our history. However, we leave behind a legacy—a very united team. What just happened… truly remarkable. It doesn’t erase the pain and sorrow people feel, but believe me, there is still a lot of enthusiasm about what lies ahead. I know the legacy we have left. Sometimes God’s plans are like this, and we must accept them. It’s not what we envisioned or wanted. We would have liked to continue if we had won. One more match would have been enough to achieve that goal. But that’s football: results are what matter. Today I must say goodbye to a wonderful and remarkable family, but with immense gratitude, peace, and inner harmony, knowing we gave everything we had.”
