FEF confirms Beccacece's departure from Ecuador national team

The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) officially announced the departure of Gustavo Beccacece as coach of the Ecuador national team. The Argentine, who took charge in 2023, leaves the team after a series of inconsistent results, including a recent 2-0 loss to Mexico on July 1, 2026.

Why did Beccacece leave?

Beccacece leaves the national team with a mixed record in his last five matches (1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses). While his team showed moments of quality, the lack of consistent results and the need for a new technical direction led the FEF to make this decision.

What's next for Ecuador?

With Beccacece's departure, the FEF will look for a new coach to lead the team in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The challenge will be finding a manager who can improve performance and solidify the team before the tournament.

Fan reaction

Ecuador fans have shown mixed opinions about Beccacece's departure. While some believe a change was necessary, others feel the coach deserved more time to prove himself.
