The excitement of the World Cup is not over yet, the top teams are still in the fight for the title. But in the meantime, a storm of layoffs and resignations has swept through the dugouts of various teams! At least 15 coaches have lost their jobs or resigned during the tournament and immediately after the team’s departure, taking responsibility for the failure.
This long list has been prepared based on official announcements from football federations of various countries.
Germany was eliminated in the second round after losing to Paraguay in a tiebreaker.
After that, coach Julian Nagelsmann stepped down, severing his relationship with the club after almost three years. His assistants also left with him.
However, the surprising news is that the German Football Federation (DFB) has already started discussions to appoint Jurgen Klopp as the new coach.
DFB officials are currently in New York to meet with Klopp.
Klopp is currently working as Red Bull’s global director of football and is also a commentator for Magenta TV at the World Cup. If all goes well, it is only a matter of time before he takes charge of Germany.
The latest addition to the list is Senegal coach Pape Thiao. The Senegalese Football Federation has dismissed not only the head coach but also the entire coaching panel for failing to meet expectations. Under Thiao, Senegal played in the 2022 Qatar World Cup and also reached the final of the 2026 African Cup of Nations. But this time, they were defeated 3-2 in extra time in the last 16 despite leading 2-0 in the 85th minute against Belgium.
