We will be looking some coaches who have their World Cup performance badly from the team and the nation perspective.

Brazil Manager- Tite

After losing to Croatia in the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, Brazil’s head coach Tite resigns from his position. At the Education City Stadium’s post-game press conference, Tite declared, “End of cycle.” Neymar Jr. scored the game’s first goal in the 105th minute, and Bruno Petkovic tied it up in the 117th to force a penalty shootout. Brazil entered the match with a lot of confidence after crushing South Korea 4-1 in the Round of 16, but Croatia proved to be a more difficult opponent. In 2016, the 61-year-old gained control of Selecao, and in 2019, he won the Copa America. However, Brazil has consistently fallen short in the quarterfinals, most recently to Belgium at the 2018 World Cup.

Spain Manager- Luis Enrique 

Head coach Luis Enrique quit the Spanish team after Spain’s elimination from the tournament in the round of 16, which followed a defeat to Morocco on penalties. “The RFEF cordially wishes Luis Enrique and his group success in all of their upcoming professional endeavours. The Spanish football federation released an official statement that said, “The coach receives the love and admiration of his teammates on the national team and of the entire federation, which will always be his home. Spain earned the silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics under Enrique, and last year they advanced to the semifinal of the European Championship. After his squad was eliminated from the World Cup in Qatar, Enrique became the fifth national team coach to resign. He wasn’t able to perform up to task for this World Cup.

Mexico Manager- Gerardo Tata Martino

Tata Martino, the head coach of Mexico, acknowledged full responsibility for the team’s World Cup group stage exit and, as a result, chose not to extend his contract with the federation (FMF). Mexico was eliminated from the World Cup after placing third behind Poland, despite defeating Saudi Arabia 2-1 in its last group-stage game. Mexico’s failure to score in either of its first two Group C matches—a scoreless draw with Poland and a 2-0 loss to Argentina—cost them the tournament. “This dissatisfaction is my fault. I take full responsibility for this enormous failure, and it is a profound grief,” Martino remarked following the game. “Eight World Cups have passed since this incident. With the blow of the final horn, my contract expired, and there was nothing left to do. Martino took over as manager of the Mexico national team in January 2019, and his goal is to end the team’s World Cup knockout curse. Since the 1994 World Cup, Mexico, also known as El Tri, has advanced to the pre-quarterfinals on every occasion but has not advanced to the semifinals.
