Tuesday's major sports story is the Haitian Football Federation (FHF) announcing the departure of Sébastien Migné as head coach of the national football team. In its statement, the FHF described the split as a mutual agreement between the two parties. The federation praised the coach's professionalism and commitment, recognizing his role in leading Haiti to its second FIFA World Cup, 52 years after the country's first appearance.

It was a politically correct statement following Haiti's qualification for and participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. That achievement alone should have been enough for the French coach to continue leading the national team. However, the team's three defeats during the tournament, combined with the tactical decisions made by the now former Haiti head coach, caused a significant portion of the population to turn against him. In the absence of data, it is difficult to determine what percentage of Haitians wanted him dismissed. What is clear, however, is that calls for the French coach's removal multiplied across social media and in certain media outlets. It is equally difficult to say whether public opinion played any role in Sébastien Migné's departure.
