Costa Rica Dismisses Miguel Herrera After World Cup Failure With $25,000 Settlement

Federation leaders call the confidential payout favorable to the organization, citing lessons from earlier expensive departures.

Overview

  • The Costa Rican federation confirmed on November 20 that Miguel Herrera and his staff were removed following the end of the qualifying campaign.
  • FCRF president Osael Maroto said a confidential finiquito was negotiated and characterized the agreement as favorable for the federation.
  • Regional reports say the settlement corresponds to Herrera’s December salary of $25,000, though some outlets have cited higher monthly pay figures.
  • Costa Rica finished third in Group C with seven points, missing both direct qualification and the intercontinental playoff.
  • The federation has begun evaluating candidates to replace Herrera, as other national teams have also parted with coaches after qualifying failures, including Honduras, Jamaica and Sweden.
