Give a woman the job

THE TTFA (Trinidad and Tobago Football Association) is currently advertising the post for national women’s team coach, with local, and even international coaches, available to apply.
The position has been vacant for over a year, since Stephan De Four was dismissed in December 2019.
De Four served as coach for the 2020 Olympic Games qualifying series, but the TT squad were eliminated in the group stage, in October 2019. Even though TT, as hosts, were the overwhelming favourites to advance as the group winners, from Group A of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) leg, they finished third in the group, behind St Kitts/Nevis and Dominican Republic.

‘Nobody is being told anything!’ Hadad slammed for poor communication and constitutional violations
Trinidad and Tobago Football Referees Association (TTFRA) vice-president Osmond Downer has criticised Fifa-appointed normalisation committee chairman Robert Hadad for either ignoring the local body’s constitution or totally misunderstanding his role within the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA).
Hadad and his three-member committee, which includes Judy Daniel and Nigel Romano, replaced the TTFA Board on 27 March 2020 with a specific mandate to: run the TTFA’s daily affairs, establish a debt repayment plan, review and amend the constitution (where necessary), and conduct elections for a new board.

TT men’s senior footballer Daneil Cyrus said he respects chairman of the normalisation committee Robert Hadad for sticking to his word and paying national footballers their salaries.
Among those who were liaising with the normalisation committee concerning salaries was the Coaches Steering Committee which includes Jefferson George, Wayne Sheppard, Angus Eve, Clayton Morris and Richard Hood. A member of that committee told Newsday at 5.30 pm on Tuesday that he had been paid.
Approximately 40 coaches and technical staff members of national senior and junior teams were owed money for various periods.
The coaches that had three-month contracts were paid in full, but coaches and staff with longer contracts received 50 per cent of their salaries. All the players are expected to get paid in full.
T&T coaches, players receive partial payments, with some ‘errors’; Hadad to discuss 2021 programme
There was some relief for Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) technical staff, office staff and coaches this afternoon, as salaries finally hit their bank accounts.
Not everyone was satisfied and there appeared to be some discrepancies by the Fifa-appointed normalisation committee. However, coaches and players who spoke to
Wired868 were generally happy for the first tangible show of appreciation by the current rulers of the local football body.
