The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 eliminations have led to the resignation or dismissal of a number of coaches.
FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which included 32 teams, began on November 20 and ended on December 18. As a result, numerous head coaches or managers were fired or quit after their teams were eliminated from the competition.
The following managers will no longer be in charge of their teams following the FIFA World Cup 2022 season:
1. Tite – Brazil
Brazil's head coach Tite resigned from his post following Brazil's FIFA World Cup quarterfinal defeat to Croatia.
At the Education City Stadium's post-game news conference, Tite said, "End of cycle."
The 61-year-old took over the Selecao in 2016 and won the Copa America in 2019. Brazil has, however, repeatedly lost in the World Cup quarterfinals, most notably against Belgium in 2018.
Under Tite's direction, Brazil scored 172 goals in 81 games, winning 60 and losing just six.
2. Luis Enrique - Spain
After Spain's elimination from the competition in the round of 16, which followed a loss to Morocco on penalties, head coach Luis Enrique left the Spanish team.
"The RFEF energetically wishes Luis Enrique and his team the best of luck in their future professional projects. The coach earns the love and admiration of his collaborators in the national team and of the entire federation, which will always be his home," the official statement from the Spanish football federation read.
Spain advanced to the semifinal of the 2017 European Championship with Enrique.
3. Gerardo Tata Martino – Mexico
Tata Martino, the head coach of Mexico, accepted full responsibility for the team's elimination from the World Cup group stage and decided not to renew his contract with the federation as a result (FMF).
Despite defeating Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their last group-stage match, Mexico was eliminated from the World Cup after finishing third behind Poland.
This came as a result of Mexico's goalless ties with Poland and 2-0 losses to Argentina in their initial two Group C games.
"I am responsible for this disappointment. It is a great sadness and I assume all the responsibility for this huge failure," said Martino.
4. Paulo Bento- South Korea
Following his team's 4-1 loss to Brazil in the round of 16 match of the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Monday at Stadium 974 in Doha, Paulo Bento announced his resignation as South Korea's head coach.
At the post-game news conference, Bento declared that he will not ask the Korea Football Association, which regulates South Korean football, for a contract renewal.
"Now I need to think about the future, but I will not be with the Korea team. I am going to rest and then see," said the 53-year-old Portuguese coach, who also managed Portugal at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
"I have just told the players and the president of the national federation. This is a decision which I took in September. It was set in stone and today I confirmed it. I have to thank them and am very proud to have been their manager," added Bento.
Bento took over as the squad's head coach in August 2018 following South Korea's exit from the 2018 World Cup in Russia at the group stage.
Shin Tae-yong had previously led the team. Having defeated Portugal in their last group match to progress, he led South Korea to its first knockout round since the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
5. Otto Addo – Ghana
The inexperienced 47-year-old, a former Ghanaian international who was born in Germany and competed for the Black Stars in their first World Cup finals appearance in 2006, had been a shock selection, parachuted in between Ghana's humiliating exit at the January Africa Cup of Nations finals and their March World Cup qualifying playoff match against Nigeria.
"I said before, it was clear I would stop after the World Cup. At the moment, me and my family see our future in Germany, I like my role at Dortmund," Addo said after Ghana exited the tournament following a 2-0 loss to Uruguay at the Al Janoub Stadium.
Addo works as "talent coach" at the Bundesliga club, where he previously played.
"I said I would resign after the World Cup even if we were world champions," he added.
6. Roberto Martinez – Belgium
After the Red Devils' failure to advance past the group stage against Belgium's golden generation, Martinez resigned.
7. Netherlands: Louis van Gaal
This is Louis van Gaal's third game in charge of the Netherlands, and he has declared that it will be his last.
The news was made following the Netherlands' quarterfinal loss to Argentina, a thrilling 2-2 tie in which the Dutch squad rallied to lose 3-4 on penalties.
Van Gaal is a coaching legend in European club football and is well-known for his - occasionally contentious - tactical choices.
Before his last World Cup game, he refuted claims that his team's conservative style of play made for "boring" football by pointing to their victories against the USA in the Round of 16 and group-stage victory.
