Argentina's Batista leaves Costa Rica coaching
The Costa Rican Football Federation has dismissed Argentine coach Fernando Batista after only six months of his appointment, due to modest results at the start of the CONCACAF Nations League. The team suffered two losses in the first two rounds against Curaçao and Haiti, including a humiliating home defeat to Curaçao with a score of 3-4 after leading 3-0 at halftime. Costa Rica failed to advance past the group stage in the 2014 World Cup and has declined in recent years, also missing out on qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Former player Bryan Ruiz will serve as interim coach.
