Roberto Martinez Resigns as Portugal Manager
- Following Portugal's elimination, Roberto Martínez formally confirmed he is stepping down as head coach, stating, "It's true that this is my final game as Portugal head coach."
- Martínez managed 45 games, the most by any Portugal coach in history, during which he won the Nations League and praised the youth development system for a country of just 10 million.

- Sources close to Martínez indicate he decided to step down before the tournament began, emphasizing that without winning the World Cup, it made no sense to continue in the role.
