Robert Arias, a notable former defender for Club Sport Herediano, has been appointed as the new sports manager of Asociación Deportiva Municipal Pérez Zeledón, as announced by the club via their social media channels.

The announcement highlights Arias's significance to the club, inviting him back with a message of success and welcome.

Arias, aged 45, enjoyed a successful playing career primarily with Herediano, participating in two significant terms with Pérez Zeledón. His first stint with the club began in 2011 and lasted for one year, followed by a return in 2013, where he played until his retirement in 2014.

As Pérez Zeledón continues to make strategic decisions post-season, the appointment of Arias marks a pivotal moment for the club.

With a legacy intertwined with the national championship, his experience as a player is expected to influence the club’s direction as it aims to enhance its competitive edge in the national league.

This transition reflects broader trends in sports management where former athletes take on executive roles within their organizations.
