Gustavo Matosas is the new manager of Costa Rica, FEDEFUTBOL announced Tuesday.
The move doesn't come as a shock. The federation had announced last week that the former Club America and Leon boss was headed to San Jose to negotiate terms on a deal. The parties now have come to agreement, with Matosas set to travel to Monterrey with Costa Rica federation president Rodolfo Villalobos to watch Costa Rica's friendly with Mexico from the stands Thursday. He will then take in Costa Rica's match against Colombia in the United States next week before getting to work.
"This is a great honor for me, to represent, through the medium of the national team, a country like Costa Rica.
