Change in Leadership for Haiti's National Team
In a surprising turn of events just before the World Cup, Haiti's national football team has announced the departure of their coach, Sébastien Migné. The 53-year-old Frenchman has been at the helm for over two years, but the Haitian Football Federation confirmed that the split was amicable. Migné's tenure included a challenging run in Group C of the World Cup, where Haiti faced Scotland, Brazil, and Morocco, finishing without a point from these encounters.
Migné took on the role of head coach in March 2024 and enjoyed a remarkable start, securing victories in nine out of his first ten matches. However, the 2025 Gold Cup proved to be a setback, as Haiti exited the tournament in the group stage with only one point. Despite these challenges, Migné successfully guided Haiti to their second-ever World Cup qualification, marking their first appearance on this grand stage since 1974. Among the notable talents in the squad are Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor and Wolverhampton midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who are expected to play crucial roles in the upcoming tournament.
This marks Migné's fourth position as head coach of a national team, and with his previous experience as an assistant coach, he has worked with a total of eight different national squads. Notably, this was his first opportunity to participate in a World Cup, adding to the significance of his coaching journey.
