Palos, are you sure all these guys are qualified? But okay, you came up with a list.
Next question – Of the guys you listed, pick your top three to coach the national team. List 1 st, 2nd, and 3rd choices.

I not sure at all.
I know Anton, Bertille, La Foucade, Gally, Stuart, & Jamal are for sure. Zando mentioned Reynold Carrington as well. The rest...I assumin dey have various levels of certification but to what degree, I not sure.
To answer your 2nd question.....I think the Senior Men's National team coach needs to be someone experienced, and who would command respect from the players. Given that our top players (at least 5 of the current team) ply their trade with professional teams abroad, it can't be a young up and comer, unless this up and comer is some kind of coaching phenom which I don't believe we have in T&T.
There is one name I deliberately left out.
Stephen HartHart has had some success with Canadian Junior teams and he was the head coach in charge of the Canadians during their impressive display during the Last Gold Cup. Their approach to the game was a refreshing change from the conservative style that was the hallmark of Canadian teams. He is now Canada's Technical Director.
I believe from a coaching standpoint, Hart would make an excellent head coach of the T&T National team. The only issue being he is NOT a household name and would likely encounter the same period of having to EARN the player's respect. I would love to see him involved in some aspect of T&T's football, especially at the grass roots level because I feel as good of a coach that he is, that is probably the area where he can be most effective.
Finally, another name to consider would be that of
Russell Latapy who is coaching and playing with Falkirk in Scotland. He obviously is doing or has done his certification, he will have no problem with the RESPECT factor from the senior players, but his experience is negligible to some extent, certainly internationally. That said, he doesn't have any less experience that Anton Corneal when he started out either.
So my picks for a "local" T&T Senior Men's team coach in no particular order?
Russell Latapy - for the reasons I outlined above
Terry Fenwick - Jabloteh is one of the most successful clubs in T&T and the vast majority of their players are eligible to play for T&T
Stuart Charles - W Connection is the other successful club in T&T and he deserves a fair shot.
