I can understand them being upset with him for announcing taking a new job a few days before the World Cup starts but sacking him seems excessive. As long as he put his all into the tournament I don't see why it would have been an issue.

The phrase shooting yourself in the foot springs to mind.

Quite a few international managers over the years at the major tournaments go to new club jobs after the tournament ends so yes l think the Spanish FA reaction is a bit OTT that is for sure.

North America have won the bid to host the 2026 FFIA World Cup.

Quote:

The 2026 World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico after their joint bid beat Morocco's proposal to host it.

The 'United 2026' bid was selected by Fifa member nations, winning 134 votes compared to 65 for Morocco.

The 2026 tournament will be the biggest World Cup ever held - with 48 teams playing 80 matches over 34 days.
