From Costa Rica, there is a favorable interest in securing the services of coach Ricardo Gareca. Fedefutbol has begun to take steps to initiate discussions with the Argentine strategist, who has been on their radar since 2015, although at that time he chose to accept Peru's offer. This recent inclination arises because the Costa Rican team is currently without a coach, after Luis Fernando Suárez was dismissed from his position after his participation in the Gold Cup, at the end of July, due to poor results.
According to ESPN, currently, members of the Executive Committee of the Costa Rican Football Federation, under the direction of Osael Maroto, have a favorable opinion about the 'Tiger'. The position was corroborated by Claudio Vivas, the sports director of Fedefutbol, who expressed that the former Vélez coach attracts and arouses "interest".
