Main Points
Club Sport Herediano has begun the search for a new head coach following the team’s early exit from the 2026 Apertura tournament. The club, the reigning national champion, was eliminated in the first round of the competition, prompting a reassessment of its coaching strategy. During a press conference on 8 November, after a 1‑1 draw against Inter San Carlos, club president Jafet Soto announced that Herediano is returning to its traditional model of evaluation and restructuring. “We are going back to the winning model we have had for years, where we assess and sit together as a board to reorganize and rearm with a structure that has been in place for a long time,” Soto said. Soto also addressed speculation that former Argentine coach José Saturnino Cardozo might be considered for the position. Cardozo recently visited Costa Rica, sparking rumors of a potential appointment. “Cardozo is one of several options,” Soto explained. “There are five or six candidates. I know that once people hear these statements, their WhatsApp will be flooded with suggestions. We will not accept more proposals; the decision has already been made. From those five or six we will choose the next coach for Herediano. No more filters or additional requirements are necessary. We thank all agents and representatives for their interest, but the selection process is now complete.” Soto added that six coaches have already passed the preliminary evaluation matrix, and the club is moving forward with a clear plan. The announcement comes as Herediano seeks to stabilize its leadership after a disappointing start to the Apertura season. Article source: Nacion | Image credit: Nacion
