Joel Campbell and Inter San Carlos grapple with media criticism and long‑term coaching contracts

Joel Campbell's representative, Joaquim Batica, said the Costa Rican striker receives less respect at home than abroad, suggesting racial bias in the local media. Campbell acknowledged the comments, stressing he remains confident in himself regardless of criticism.

Inter San Carlos announced three‑year extensions for head coach Douglas Sequeira and assistant Álvaro Saborío, emphasizing stability as the club prepares for its debut in the Costa Rican first division. The management highlighted the new contracts as part of a broader project that includes Campbell’s recent signing.
