Despite the sting of elimination, Beccacece remained focused on the positives and the foundation he helped build for the future of Ecuadorian football. He pointed to the youthful profile of his squad as the real success of his tenure. He took a moment to thank the fans and the players for the support they provided throughout his time in charge.
“The legacy is from the players, because they have been the youngest team of Ecuador,” the manager stated when asked about his impact. “I have no complaints, only gratitude to the people and the players. I received so much gratitude and affection from the bottom of my heart. The boys gave me two beautiful hours after the match and that’s what we’re left with.”
