A mutual decision
The Haitian Football Federation announced on Thursday that it had reached a mutual agreement with Sebastien Migne to end their working relationship, bringing to a close a tenure that began in 2024.
Migne, a French tactician, was appointed to the helm of the Haitian national side just over two years ago, tasked with revitalising a programme that had been absent from the world’s premier tournament for five decades.
Under his guidance, Haiti secured qualification for the 2026 edition, marking the nation’s first appearance at the finals since 1974. The campaign, however, ended in the group stage after defeats to Scotland, Brazil and Morocco.
A brief but historic spell
The federation issued a statement praising Migne’s professionalism, commitment and dedication, noting that the decision to part ways was taken by mutual consent and that his contributions would be remembered as a pivotal moment in Haitian football.
While the loss to Scotland ended 1‑0, the matches against Brazil and Morocco saw Haiti fall 3‑0 and 4‑2 respectively, results that underscored the competitive gap but also highlighted the progress made on the international stage.
The governing body indicated that the search for a successor would prioritise continuity and the development of a sustainable football ecosystem, hoping to build on the foundation laid during Migne’s short but transformative spell.
