Costa Rica coach Wanchope gets in fight at U-23 match

Paulo Wanchope was caught on video getting in a fight at an Under-23 match between Panama and Costa Rica.

Violence could be getting another CONCACAF coach in hot water.

Costa Rica coach Paulo Wanchope was caught on video getting in a fight with a man during an Under-23 match Tuesday in Panama, two weeks after Mexico boss Miguel Herrera was fired because of allegations that he punched a reporter in Philadelphia.

The video shows Wanchope observing the match from the stands when another man appears to shove him in the back — prompting the Costa Rica coach to lash out and engage in a brief scuffle before security intervenes.
