SAN JOSE, Sept 16 Costa Rica (AP): Costa Rica fired coach Rodrigo Kenton on Tuesday following three straight losses in World Cup qualifying.
Several possible successors surfaced, including Leo Beenhakker, Hans Westerhof, Jose Pekerman and Cruz Azul coach Enrique Meza.
Costa Rica, which once led the North and Central American and Caribbean region, is fourth with 12 points following losses to Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador. The United States leads with 16 points, one ahead of Mexico and three in front of Honduras.
The top three teams qualify and the No. 4 team faces a playoff with the fifth-place nation from South America.
