Paulo Wanchope has relinquished his duties as Costa Rica coach after being involved in a fight following an Olympic qualifying match.
Costa Rica coach Paulo Wanchope has resigned after being caught on camera fighting with a man following Tuesday's Olympic qualifier against Panama.
The 39-year-old became embroiled in a scuffle with a man, seemingly over the refusal to allow Wanchope onto the field on play, with punches and kicks thrown by both.
"Following a cordial meeting between Paulo Cesar Wanchope and federation executives Jorge Hidalgo and Rodolfo Villalobos, secretary general Rafael Vargas and the president of the national team commission Adrian Gutierrez, the coach decided to step aside and leave the technical direction of the national team," a statement from the Costa Rican federation read.
