A sell-out by the Selection Committee of Jinelle James- Director of Women's Football, Dion La Foucade- Technical Director, James Thomas- National Women's Team coach and Richard Chinapoo- a former national player, is how some enraged former players and current local coaches have described the announcement of Welshman Charlie Mitchell as the new assistant coach to the T&T women's team.
THE T&T Football Association (TTFA) has appointed its senior women’s national team staff which will work alongside head coach James Thomas.
Recently appointed women’s senior team coach, Welshman James Thomas is in T&T to officially take up duty.
There are concerns that an agreement by the FIFA-appointed Normalisation Committee to select an all-local staff to support coach Welshman James Thomas and the T&T Senior Women's team, will not be upheld.
James Thomas, the newly appointed Trinidad and Tobago women’s national team head coach, is trying to make his way to T&T as soon as possible despite difficulty of travel. The Welshman said, however, that though he is still on the other side of the Atlantic, the work has begun.
Forty-nine persons have applied to fill four positions on the coaching staff of the T&T Senior Women's Team. The applications are before a Selection Committee that comprises Technical Director Dion La Foucade, head coach James Thomas of Wales, Jinelle James, the Director of Women's Football and Trevor Gomes of the Normalisation Committee and Amiel Mohammed, the acting General Secretary of the T&T Football Association (T&TFA).
The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association is pleased to announce the appointment of James Thomas as Head Coach of the Women’s National Senior Team.
Invitations to select the Technical Staff of the T&T Women's team are out. The positions will all be filled by local personnel.
Despite the coronavirus pandemic nothing is stopping Trinidadian-born midfielder Sarah De Gannes on the field as the talented Canadian-based T&T player continues to excel in sports in the US and has managed to rack-up a few MVP awards for Brewton Parker College in 2020.
