World Cup 2026: Haiti's coach was sacked after exiting the World Cup!

Sébastien Migné’s tenure at the helm of Haiti’s national team has come to an official end.

The story, as reported by Romain Molina, reveals that the Haitian Football Federation is already actively scouting for a successor—though that search may have begun long before the announcement. Why? Because Migné himself had long since stopped showing any desire to remain in the role.

In truth, the bond between the French coach and the federation’s leadership had fractured well before the autumn leaves fell. Back then, with Haiti’s path to the World Cup hanging by a thread, Migné found himself surrounded by hostility from above. Federation officials, barely concealing their impatience, made little secret of their desire to show him the door.

Rather than endure the toxicity, Migné chose to look elsewhere. Even as the campaign ground on, he was quietly weighing other professional avenues—and it seems those preparations are already paying off. Several clubs and federations have reportedly expressed firm interest in securing his services, meaning his calendar is unlikely to stay empty for long.

For Haiti, however, the road ahead looks less certain. With Migné’s departure, the team must now rebuild from the ground up, turning the page on a chapter that ended not with a bang, but with a quiet and inevitable farewell.
