​Many of the favorite nations taking part in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar have already reshuffled their bench, with Brazil, Holland, Spain and Belgium opting to keep the coaches they hoped to impress at the final tournament.

Tite and the Amazing Shipwreck of Brazil

Tite was the last coach to pay the penalty for failing Qatar.

Adenor Leonardo Bakki, known simply as Tite, has announced his resignation as coach after Brazil were knocked out by Croatia in the quarter-finals on penalties.

Tite’s goal was known to the whole Brazilian soul: winning the sixth world championship title.

It had been too many years since Brazil’s last success (2002, when Brazil won the trophy) and there was no chance for Tite to stay in charge after the Seleção left the World Cup in Qatar in tears.

However, it is true that Tite announced some time ago that he wants to end his career after the World Cup in Qatar.

However, the exit from the scene was too early for the claims of such a national team as Brazil.

Louis van Gaal is parting ways with the Netherlands again

Saturday, December 9, brought another farewell at the level of the technical bench: Louis van Gaal announced that the game with Argentina (lost on penalties) was his last as a coach.

At the end of a dramatic duel with Lionel Messi’s Argentina, van Gaal said his side were not defeated, just that anything could have happened in a few penalties.

Roberto Martinez and the break with Belgium, the big disappointment of the 2022 World Cup

Belgium was one of the biggest disappointments of the final tournament in Qatar (if not the biggest).

Belgium, which was considered one of the main favorites for the trophy, was only a shadow.

They failed to progress through the group stage and coach Roberto Martinez announced his resignation shortly after the draw with Croatia.

The end of the road for Luis Enrique on the technical bench of the Spanish national team

Another big disappointment of the World Cup in Qatar was Spain. The Iberians left the final tournament in eighth place: an unexpected defeat on penalties against Morocco.

Luis Enrique didn’t wait long after his elimination to announce that he would no longer coach Spain.

The former Iberia standout will be replaced by Luis de la Fuente, who previously coached Spain’s under-21 team.

After losing to Brazil in the round of 16 (score 1-4), Paulo Bento publicly announced that he will no longer be the coach of the South Korean national team.

Bento’s team qualified for the group stage, but were too small for the Seleção.

Gerardo Martino broke up with Mexico after the “green” national team did not get out of the groups.

Ghana are also without a coach after failing to get out of the groups at the 2022 World Cup. Otto Addo announced his retirement, stating that even if he had won the world title (!), he would have left anyway.

Iran lost the match against the “enemy” USA and missed qualification for the 1/8 finals of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Carlos Queiroz announced that he will no longer coach Iran, the separation between the two sides is mutual.
