Ecuador Federation makes Beccacece's departure official after elimination from the World Cup

The Ecuadorian Football Federation announced, this Thursday (2), the departure of coach Sebastián Beccacece after the team's elimination from the World Cup. Ecuador was defeated 2-0 by Mexico last Tuesday (30), ending its participation in the tournament.

Beccacece, whose contract was valid until the end of the World Cup, had his departure made official shortly after the disqualification of the South American team.

The Argentine coach took charge of the Ecuadorian national team in August 2024 and, under his management, Ecuador achieved second place in the World Cup qualifiers, behind only Argentina. Before their World Cup debut, the team had an impressive run of 19 unbeaten games.
