Burchell <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Gibson</SPAN>, general secretary of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF), told The Gleaner yesterday that his federation and their CONCACAF counterparts are in discussions.

Wednesday, January 31 or February 4 are the two dates that are being thought of to kick-start Milutinovic's campaign.
Only last Thursday, the JFF officially announced Milutinovic as the person who will lead the <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Reggae</SPAN> Boyz's Road to South Africa 2010 campaign.
Likewise for Costa Rica, in November Hernan Medfor was appointed head coach, replacing Alexandre Guimaraes.
Losing record
<SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Jamaica</SPAN>, ranked 57, have a losing record against the 68th ranked Costa Rica in 14 meetings. Jamaica have won only three times, lost seven and drawn four.
The last time the Reggae Boyz registered a win against the 'Ticos' was in a 1997 friendly encounter, winning 1-0.
