Head Coach Gareca Quits After Chile Fail To Qualify For FIFA WC 2026
FIFA World Cup: Ricardo Gareca resigned as Chile's head coach after the team's 2-0 away loss to Bolivia on Tuesday, a result that ended the team's hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Goals from Miguel Terceros and Enzo Monteiro in El Alto handed Chile its 10th defeat of the South American qualifying tournament. The team sits last in the 10-nation standings and is now mathematically out of reach of a playoff spot.
"We made a decision with the coaching staff and we told them [the players] that we want to decompress the situation," Gareca told a post-match news conference at the Municipal Stadium in El Alto.
