Newly appointed football technical director and former national defender,
Sowerby Gomes, believes the key to turning Antigua and Barbuda’s football around lies within coaches’ education.
Speaking on the Good Morning Jojo Sports Show, Gomes said his immediate focus will be to ensure that those coaches working in the system are fully qualified and equipped with the necessary tools to get the job done.
“That’s why I am saying we are tackling the coaches. The coaches are who we need to transform right now, because the coaches are the ones who are going to have to train our youths. In fact, on Saturday, I did a canvassing across Antigua to see exactly who are being affected in terms of playing and who are the coaches coaching these youths across Antigua,” he said.
