Roberto Martinez Resigns As Portugal Coach

Roberto Martinez resigned as Portugal coach after their FIFA World Cup 2026 round-of-16 defeat to Spain, saying the team needed a "new voice and new leader." Mikel Merino's stoppage-time strike ended Portugal's title hopes and Cristiano Ronaldo's sixth World Cup campaign. Martinez, who took charge in 2023, leaves after three-and-a-half years at the helm.
