在韩国男足国家队被淘汰出2026年世界杯的一天后，洪明甫于6月29日在墨西哥萨波潘召开的新闻发布会上宣布辞去主教练职务。
洪明甫在球队位于萨波潘的训练基地宣读了一份事先准备好的声明。“今天，我正式辞去韩国男足国家队主教练的职务，”他表示，“我们未能取得球迷们预期的成绩，作为主教练，我有不可推卸的责任。”
韩国队在A组中以3分排在第三位，他们在6月11日以2-1战胜捷克，随后分别以0-1输给了墨西哥和南非。该队在6月27日公布的各小组第三名成绩排名中位列第十，无缘淘汰赛阶段。
现年57岁的洪明甫于2024年7月开启了其个人的第二次执教任期，原合同期至2027年亚洲杯结束。他是唯一一位曾两度带领韩国队征战世界杯的教练，2014年他也曾带队在小组赛阶段出局。
“尽管我离开了国家队，但我并没有完全放弃韩国足球，”洪明甫说道。他与八名球员计划于周二早些时候返回韩国。
X平台上的初步反应强调了洪明甫为球队过早出局承担责任，部分用户称赞他是传奇并表达了感谢，另一些用户则批评此次征程是一场灾难，并伴有政治反弹和要求进行调查的呼声；中立报道则指出机场没有安排欢迎仪式。
