Players from *Herediano*, a Costa Rican football club, made statements in the mixed zone – the area where players are interviewed after a match – shortly before the announcement of Paulo Wanchope’s dismissal as head coach. The content of these player confessions remains undisclosed in this brief report, but it occurred immediately preceding the decision to relieve Wanchope of his duties. The timing suggests a potential connection between the players' statements and the club’s decision. This situation unfolded in *Costa Rica*, at the *Herediano* facilities. The report does not detail the nature of the confessions or the reasons behind Wanchope’s departure from *Herediano*. Further reporting will be needed to fully understand the circumstances surrounding this coaching change.
