“In recent days I have made the decision to return home to Costa Rica; I left in 2010 and haven’t been back since. Right now, I would really like to be close to my family again and hopefully continue my soccer career,” Vargas said. “I want to thank the city of Pittsburgh for the amazing time I had here. I want to thank a great institution, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, for opening the doors to my professional career.”
“Mauricio has a strong desire to go home to Costa Rica and pursue his career there. It’s something that we’re happy to help him do,” Brandt said. “We value and appreciate his contribution to the club this year.”
