Costa Rica manager Paulo Wanchope has resigned from his post after he was filmed fighting a man while watching an Under-23 Olympic qualifying game against Panama.
The 39-year-old retaliated after being pushed by the man during the game on Tuesday, and the two had to be separated by a member of security.
After the video emerged online it was announced through a statement from Costa Rica that the former Derby County and Manchester City striker has tendered his resignation.
Wanchope scored 45 goals in 73 games as a player for Costa Rica before being named as his country's head coach upon Jorge Luis Pinto's departure following last summer's FIFA World Cup.
