Sebastián Beccacece has spoken about his time in charge of Ecuador, which ended on June 30 after the national side were knocked out of the 2026 World Cup by Mexico, one of the tournament’s co-hosts.

A heavy atmosphere

Looking back on the campaign, the former coach described the mood that followed Ecuador’s start to the tournament. In his words, the team had lost a match it did not deserve to lose, and the result left a very large weight of negativity hanging over the squad.

Beccacece’s comments shed light on the emotional pressure that surrounded the team during the competition, and on the difficulty of recovering from a setback that, in his view, did not reflect the team’s performances.
