Hernán Medford continues to move around in the coaching world. The former Costa Rican international managed Saprissa for three years, where he achieved his greatest success, and then his country's national team for two years, which didn't turn out so great. Now he has been named the new coach of León, the Mexican side for which he played over three seasons. León are now in the second division of Mexican football (Primera A -- weird nomenclature I know) and Medford has been tasked with bringing them back to the top flight. To help with this effort, Medford is bringing at least four Costa Rican players to the club with him. The rationale is that he is more familiar with these players than any other foreign players that might be available. However, it was his bias toward Saprissa players that started his problems with the national team and federation, not to mention the inability of the national team to score over the course of a year.
