Costa Rica fires coach after six months
The Costa Rican Football Association has dismissed Argentine coach Fernando "Pucha Batista" after six months in charge, due to a poor start in the CONCACAF Nations League. The team suffered two defeats in the first two rounds, against Curaçao and Haiti. The losses came after Costa Rica was leading 3-0 at halftime against Curaçao, only to eventually lose 3-4, followed by a 0-2 defeat to Haiti. The Costa Rican national team reached the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup but has since experienced a decline, failing to advance past the group stage in 2018 and 2022, and also failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Currently, interim coach Bryan Ruiz is in charge.
