De Telegraaf reports the 73-year-old has been tasked with leading the Soca Warriors to the World Cup in 2014.
The TTFF (Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation) had been looking at a shortlist of candidates which included Johan Neeskens and former Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz, but, it's Pfister who has landed the job after contract details were finalised with the TTFF.
He will offer a hoard of experience having coached at two World Cups with Togo in 2006, and for Saudi Arabia in France in 1998.

That's exactly what he will be in T&T for, a retirement paycheck!
But I'm not even going to get optimistic about any so-called new coach & T&T football until our 2006 World Cup players have all their bonus money in their bank accounts & Oliver Camps is gone as a result!!
Then and only then I can start taking T&T football and us qualifying for any world class tournaments seriously!

Pfister in line to coach Warriors
Friday, March 25 2011
click on pic to zoom in
GERMAN OTTO Pfister is set to be appointed as the new coach of the Trinidad and Tobago football team, according to a report on the football website Goal.com yesterday.
The report, quoting from the De Telegraaf newspaper from Germany, stated, “the 73-year-old has been tasked with leading the Soca Warriors to the World Cup in 2014.
“The TTFF (Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation) had been looking at a shortlist of candidates which included Johan Neeskens and former Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz, but, it is Pfister who has landed the job after contract details were finalised with the TTFF,” the Goal.com story continued.
“He will offer a hoard of experience having coached at two World Cups with Togo in 2006, and for Saudi Arabia in France in 1998.”
Sources close to the TTFF refused to confirm or deny the story but they revealed that Pfister is a frontrunner to replace Russell Latapy as coach of the national team, but an official announcement is set to be made on April 5.
Pfister is one of Germany’s most successful coaching exports, and was voted Africa’s Manager of the Year in 1992.
He has been to four African Cup of Nations competitions with Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso), Zaire, Cameroon and Ghana and reached the African Cup of Nations final twice, with Cameroon and Ghana. In 1991, Pfister has won the FIFA Under-17 World Cup with Ghana, and he has also won the Under-19 African Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast (1983) and led Togo in the 2006 World Cup. Pfister also guided Saudi Arabia to the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
He has won the league title in two different countries (Egypt and Lebanon), and the domestic cups in four different countries (Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon and Sudan).

By Ian Prescott (T&T Express)
The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) will meet on Sunday to confirm, among other things, the appointment of German Otto Pfister as the new head coach of the senior national team.
Federation officials will hold a congress in Mayaro, where a recommendation to appoint the 73-year-old German, and also his assistants, will be discussed.
However, it seems that it is already a done deal. Yesterday, German media reported that Pfister already had the job and that contract details were finalised with the TTFF.
TTFF president Oliver Camps was cagey yesterday, but hinted that the German could officially be Trinidad and Tobago's coach by Monday.
"Pfister has been recommended," Camps confirmed. "But we rather wait until Sunday when the entire executive is present to discuss the recommendation, before making a final statement. By Monday we will issue a release."
The TTFF had been looking at a short-list of five foreign candidates, including Ruud Krol, Johan Neeskens and ex-Portugal boss Carlos Queiroz to replace Russell Latapy, after the national team failed to qualify for the final of the Caribbean Cup last December and this year's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Pfister and Dutchman Erwin Koeman came to Trinidad for personal interviews, as well as look at facilities and action in the T&T Pro League.
After a month of interviews, a committee headed by FIFA technical adviser Keith Look Loy made a final recommendation.
Pfister was among the favourites due to his willingness to work with local personnel and pass on his tremendous experience.
The German has coached at World Cups with Saudi Arabia (1998) and Togo (2006). He has also worked extensively in Africa, where the talent is raw and resources are sometimes limited.
Pfister is expected to be paid in the region of US$50,000-$60,000. However, the cash-strapped TTFF is dependent on the Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs to release funds to pay the salary for the national coach.
Camps hinted that arrangements with the Ministry are close to being finalised.
"It's being worked out," he said. "We are not quite there yet, but we are working on it."

Jack and Camps does blame everybody but themselves for the results and can't even report on finances that they are supposed to be held accountable for.

" Pfister was selected as the head coach of Togo on February 18, 2006, after former coach Stephen Keshi was dismissed from the post despite having secured qualification for their first World Cup Finals.[3] Pfister himself resigned shortly before the team's first match in the tournament, after his players went on strike against the federation over a pay dispute,[4] but he was reappointed three days later after demands from the players.[5]"
I eh sure if we could get all our practice sessions in de cool of the night but I am hopeful ..we also have to work on getting all our games as night games ....
seems like he was last employed in May 2009 ...he should have had a good rest then ... :beermug:

quote from him in the story:
"I've taken some time off, but from April 4th I'm back on the job"
The contract is through World Cup 2014 qualifications and if T&T qualifies the contract will be extended to the end of the tournament.

Mate, are you mad? TTFF are broke and just about to become even more in debt. What shocks me is that Anil is going to pay this guys salary. I thought Peoples Partnership were going to cut off financial support to organisations being run poorly? They have just closed the National Aids Coordinating Committee without any announcement about how the T&T govt intend to tackle HIV/AIDS and the staff there have been made unemployed. Yet they can pay US$60,000 pm for a geriatric football coach? WTF is going on here?

My sentiments exactly, he went on to say "we" have already agreed on everything. When asked about the salary he said a man's salary is his business. However I hope Jack & Anil know that if it is the Govt of T&T paying this man then it is our business. So let's see how this goes!!!!

By: Nigel Simon (Guardian).
German Otto Pfister will be unveiled as coach of the Soca Warriors at a T&T Football Federation press conference to be staged at the Calypso Room, Crowne Plaza Hotel, Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain from 2 pm today.
The 74-year-old Germany got the nod of the local federation and its special advisor, Jack Warner after he topped a shortlist of candidates interviewed earlier this year.
The other nominees included former Holland international Irwin Koeman as well as fellow Dutchman, Johan Neeskens.
It was understood former Portugal and Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz, was in the running but he later opted out of the race prior to a scheduled trip to meet with local officials and yesterday was appointed coach of Iran.
It was stated the T&TFF technical committee headed by technical advisor Keith Look Loy favoured the appointment of Pfister while contract negotiations were the final part of the agreement to be sorted out are being finalised.
Pfister is regarded as one of Germany’s most successful coaching exports, voted Africa’s Manager of the Year in 1992.
He has been to four African Cup of Nations competitions with Burkina Faso, Zaire, Cameroon and Ghana and reached the African Cup of Nations final twice, with Cameroon and Ghana. He won the Fifa Under-17 World Cup with Ghana and also coached Togo at the 2006 World Cup Finals.
During his visit in February, Pfister who qualified Saudi Arabia for 1998 France Fifa World Cup said he had experiences similar to that of T&T as he took Togo to the World Cup in Germany.
It’s a big challenge but it is possible with a professional conception,” Pfister added. On the job at 73, and having began coaching as a player coach at age 23 in Switzerland back in 1961, Pfister says working with young players, keeps him fresh and vibrant.
Look Loy had also commented that Pfister’s coaching resume was remarkable, having enjoyed success in 15 countries on three continents.
“He is well experienced in World Cup qualifying and final tournaments, and has managed some of the international game’s established names. This knowledge could serve us well,” said Look Loy.
However, contacted for comment on the financial support for Pfister’s salary which is expected to be more than $45,000, Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, Anil Roberts said his ministry had yet to settle on the financial support with the T&TFF.
In addition to the confirming of Pfister as senior team coach, all eyes will be focus on the support cast for the German as the local federation had previously stated it wanted a local group of assistant coaches to work alongside the experienced European.
This has led many to believe that former coach, Russell Latapy who’s contract came to end at the end of the Digicel Caribbean Cup in Martinique last December could be included as an assistant along with a few other former T&T internationals.

Queiroz was appointed coach of Iran?! Wow, he must really think something was desperately wrong in T&T!
He probably logged on to socawarriors.net in his research & realised that coming to T&T to coach our senior team right now would be a big mistake!! :devil:
Thank God Pfister too old to understand how to use the internet & logon to socawarriors.net otherwise he would have probably considered coaching Libya right now as a better option than coaching us! ;)

The players usually get a lift and try harder when a new foreign coach come in. and you usually find at least one or two you can lift their game
Lawrence under Porterfield
Whitley under Bennie
Daniel under Maturana
