Which local coach can handle the current national team is hard to pick now. The only person at this moment may be Angus. But I honestly don't see any local coach with the ability to handle all the constraints of running a national team, unless he gets some mass infusion of help from the association.
At this moment, I don't think a foreign coach go help us either. Unless there radical change in the TTFA, together with heavy infusion of money. Where is DJW getting money to pay a foreign coach that will satisfy some of allyuh. he already got egg on his face for Saintfeit. That was one of the shabbiest tenure of any coach TT has ever engaged.
Now, I have no issue with a foreign coach. But I say, which well known coach will come to TT and perform miracles at this time. As far as I am concern, about 3 of the long list of foreigners have had good performances. Beenhakker, Kevin Verity, Porterfield. Others like Simoes, Vranes, Maturana, Pfister were hamper by Jack's craziness. One guy, Mike Laing was not bad, but TTFA decided to play all home games away because of the very familiar "lack of money". That was 1968.
Local coaches, unfortunately, have always been hampered. Either by the lack of resources and/or by the way the administration function at that period in time. Biggest impediment to local coaches is their inability to update their skills set. That could be because they just lack the money to go overseas on their own to some English, Euro. or American club academy or some FIFA coaching course. So unless a local with some credentials can pop up from the sky, we may have to pick a foreigner. But which one, is a good question.
By the way I always want to give the local coach the chance or first preference. But that can't always happen.
