The World Cup is taking its toll on Ecuador. Criticisms of the state and football of the Tri are growing by the day, and the FEF (Ecuadorian Football Federation) seems determined to take drastic measures.
What has happened?
The federation wants to take action. The team's performance has not been liked, considering it is the best generation in the country's history (Piero Hincapie, Moisés Caicedo, William Pacho, Kendry Páez...) and they are already sounding out several coaches, between official contacts and agent offers.
Why is it important for Ecuador?
The future of the Argentine at the helm of Ecuador is hanging by a thread. The first impressions are that he will part ways after the World Cup. The team had a poor performance in their last match: Ecuador 0-0 Curaçao (2026-06-21).
What comes next?
The situation is dramatic. “I dreamed of the semifinals” commented Enner Valencia, captain of the selection, in the previous tournament to the disaster it has become. A team without identity and with a patent lack of goal and creativity in the attack zone.

The coach is criticized for not knowing how to use his pieces and dying with a flat approach, without identity. And that he arrived reinforced after achieving the best classification in his history in the Eliminatories -second, ahead of Brazil, Uruguay and Colombia-.
