Sebastien Migne

Sebastien Migne is a French coach who has built his career managing African and Caribbean national teams, most notably leading Kenya's Harambee Stars to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations — their first qualification in 15 years. That achievement remains his most significant managerial credential. He took charge of Haiti in 2024, inheriting a side that qualified for the 2026 World Cup on home soil as CONCACAF co-hosts. His experience navigating limited resources and tight tournament windows in African football gives him relevant preparation for managing a Haitian squad that blends diaspora-based professionals with domestic players.

Team identity

Migne typically deploys a 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 depending on the opponent, with Bellegarde operating as the advanced central midfielder tasked with linking play. The team defends in a mid-block and looks to transition rapidly through Nazon and Pierrot. Danley Jean Jacques of Philadelphia Union provides MLS-honed physicality in midfield, while Wilson Isidor and Derrick Etienne offer wide width and directness in attack.
