Sébastien Migné est à la porte
La Fédération Haïtienne de Football (FHF) a annoncé, ce mardi 14 juillet, avoir mis fin d’un commun accord à sa collaboration avec le sélectionneur national Sébastien Migné.
Dans un communiqué officiel, la FHF a salué le professionnalisme, l’engagement et le dévouement du technicien français, dont le mandat restera marqué par la qualification historique d’Haïti pour la Coupe du Monde de la FIFA 2026, mettant fin à 52 ans d’absence sur la scène mondiale.
La Fédération a également remercié Sébastien Migné pour sa contribution au développement du football haïtien et lui a souhaité plein succès pour la suite de sa carrière. Elle affirme vouloir poursuivre son travail de structuration et de professionnalisation du football national.
Having closely followed Haitian football during Sébastien Migné’s time as head coach, I witnessed firsthand how his leadership brought new hope and pride to a nation deeply passionate about the sport. Haiti’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is not just a milestone for the team but a historic moment that rejuvenated national spirit after more than five decades away from the global stage. This achievement reflects exceptional commitment to not only coaching but also to the structural development of Haitian football. The Fédération Haïtienne de Football’s decision to continue on a path of professionalization signals an exciting phase ahead, aiming to build on the foundations laid during Migné’s tenure. From my experience attending matches and interacting with local fans, the sense of community and determination around Haitian football has grown strongly. The federation's acknowledgment of Migné’s professionalism and dedication is well-deserved, especially given the challenging context in which the team succeeded. Looking forward, the focus on structuring and professionalizing the sport will be critical. This includes enhancing youth programs, improving facilities, and fostering local talent to ensure sustained success on the international stage. For Haitian football supporters, this period marks a hopeful transition and a chance to see their national team not only return but also compete strongly in future tournaments. The story of Haiti's return to the World Cup is a reminder of how sport can unite and inspire a nation. It will be fascinating to watch how the federation navigates this new chapter, building on past achievements while embracing new ambitions for Haitian football.
