Ecuador have appointed former Qatar coach Felix Sanchez as their new manager on a four-year contract, the country's national football association said on Saturday.
The Spaniard, who succeeds Argentine Gustavo Alfaro, would lead the team until the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, the FEF added. Sanchez, 47, left Qatar after his contract ended in December following a disappointing World Cup campaign.They lost their opening match against Ecuador and managed only a single goal in their three games, becoming the first host nation since South Africa in 2010 to fail to advance to the second round at the World Cup.
