Councilor Reynold Carrington of the Point Fortin Borough Council, has been appointed to serve alongside new national head coach Angus Eve, following the sacking of former national football coach Terry Fenwick.
Last Friday, Fenwick’s dismissal came after the national team’s unsuccessful 2022 world cup campaign, ended in a 0-0 draw against Bahamas
The new structure will be:
Richard Piper – Team Manager
Angus Eve – Head Coach
Reynold Carrington – Assistant Coach
Clayton Ince, Goalkeeper’s Coach
Adarayll John – Team Manager
The new coaching staff will have little time to prepare, as the CONCACAF Gold Cup Tournament kicks off in a little over 2 weeks
In 2003, Carrington embarked upon his coaching career as a player-manager for W Connection. Subsequent to his retirement from W Connection as a player, he was named as the team’s assistant manager.
He was the coach of the Trinidad and Tobago national under-15 football team in 2007, also coaching the under-17 team. Later In 2012. he took charge of his hometown club Point Fortin Civic FC. Citing lack of motivation by the players, he left Point Fortin Civic FC in early 2015.
Apart from being a former National Player and Captain, Carrington played with W Connection, Defence Force. He also played in the United States and Indonesia.
The footballers have to learn first touch ball control which will enable the team to play at a faster pace. Also they don’t appear to be hungry to win
Great to see former players who contributed greatly to our local & national football back at the helm .
Wish them the best. Discipline must start from the top.
