Mods can merge if necessary.I want to know if the TTFA has a Technical Director? i thought Benie was supposed to be our Technical Director? where is he? what is Anton's portfolio? is that one of the positions Small Mag holding?
-
Benie was Director of Football whatever that means
-
Coop's you are looking in the right direction, because right now the distraction is Steven Hart. You are the only man besides Amwood who understands where our focus should be directed. The President seems to be the Technical Director at the moment..he is the man with the vision for the future of football in Trinidad and Tobago.

Pick the best man for the job, no matter where he is from.
No favors, because he from Europe though.
He must earn his pick like everyone else.
But, no problem where he is from.
Beenhaker, who took us to de world cup is from Europe.
And its not TTFF, its TTFA (now), if yuh applying for a job, at least know de name of de company yuh applying for nah.
That alone says a lot.
-
Welcome to the forum :) Don't mind Sam, he loves to meet new people and get on :p.
I'm a Brit (with no blood relation to Trini yet), so I don't mind, as long as you're relatively cheap :p (so the limited money isn't filtered from other programmes). As long as you're aware of the financial situation at teh TTFA and willing/able to be flexible there.

I am also from the UK. The main reason i have applied for the role is to help sustain and grow football in the area, giving kids from grass roots the opportunity to play football and be coached to a high standard in turn providing the stars of tomorrow.

Welcome! So we have a lot of Trinis all over the place and on this board who can do those things as well, so what else will you bring to the table other than being from Europe? How familiar are you with the "Liming under a coconut tree culture" or "Carnival Mentality of the people", how about "Basic Punctuality...any time is Trini time"? What personal and professional sacrifices are you willing to make for the greater good of football in T&T? Are you personally financially sound to afford going without a pay check for months at a time? Were you aware that you would be interviewed on this forum? :yellowcard:
All the best, I actually have a candidate that I've endorsed for the position because he passed all the above criteria ;D
-
Personal sacrifices are being away from home from my kids also my business interests, as for the job itself i have a number of syllabuses that i have produced for coaches and players from grass roots to full time professionals that one of which is being used by a professional side in England.
With everything in life you only get out what you put in, so you always have to strive to become better day by day.
-
Hi GB. I see no problem with your nationality as long as your c.v. is decent. Good luck!!

GB, one of your first tests will be to spot the Trini sense of humour as demonstrated by CK1! Meanwhile, I find that our British sense of humour tends to fail miserably here. But, in most times, Trinis are a lot more friendly and welcoming than Brits so you'll soon get the hang of things! Which UK clubs have you worked with?
-
Huddersfield town, Notts County, Stoke city, Burton Albion as well as Local non league and grass roots sides. Played under some top managers aswell as with some good players, I attend ST Georges park regularly as i live fairly close. This month im there to observe Barcelona as they are using the facility

Nice. I hear SGP is puckka - a big improvement on Lilleshall and Bisham. Haven't been there, as I've been out here since before it opened. Huddersfield supposed to have some decent facilities too?
-
SGP is quality top class venue, huddersfields facility's are good now, when I was there we used the university facilities

Well they say football is a funny old game, i apply for the above job and then get offers for similar roles, although the locations are are not as appealing.

Good news for you!! But T&T could really do with some new blood to bring organisation and positive change.
I hope you are considered for the TTFA position and that you will keep your options open.
-
An outsider wouldn't get the job, they already know who they want but advertise it for courtesy.
Do you think they will bring in someone to expose all the deficiencies.
:D
-
This thread sound like tiki taka football
-
This is a charity position
Thank you for ur willingness to help the nation as a foreigner
-
Like another poster said the best man for the job must be chosen regardless where he is from. Therefore you being from Europe should not be an obstacle.
No favors or special attention because he is from Europe!
He must earn his pick like everyone else.
-
Well i wish whoever the man is all the very best of luck in his new role. Hopefully we will see T&T in another world cup ASAP. Many thanks to all who have welcomed me to the site, i wish you all the very best.
Keep up the good work guys
-
Elections is in November, the whole show and admin going to change from top to bottom. Good try gb8702.
-
Wasn't aware of the elections in November. I received an email today saying I was in successful in applying for the TD role. Onwards and upwards
-
Good luck but as i said before the whole show and admin going to change from top to bottom.
-
Might try my luck then lol :rotfl:
-
I don't care who gets the job as long as we get the team going again. I have gotten to point of seriously supporting USMNT. I am following them to twitter, watching the MLS, getting excited about their transfer possibilities :'( This is only happening because I feel like we don't have a team. Where are our friendlies. Why aren't we trying to improve our ranking to deal with the work permit situation. Our guys aren't getting national team minutes. Even if we have to play Haiti, can we please just play someone.
So my answer is, don't care who does it, just get stuff done.
-
T&T Football in the doldrums big time.
-
It'll get better, We have one person of competence, we just need the rest... And Warner giving back the money he stole would help

Ah really dunno nah. Question to anyone TTFA inner circle. What is the current status of our senior football team at the moment? We have Caribbean Nations Cup qualifiers in October, so are we not going to play friendlies before then?

Is Kendall Walkes to be named the new Technical Director of the TTFA?
Anyone in the know hear any whispers?

Married with two children.
-
Ok what does he know about being a Technical Director of a National Team ?
Does he have experience in THAT position ? If yes how did he do? A coach is a coach, a TD is a specialist position.
We have to get this right...we have no time for square pegs in round holes.
-
Forgot to mentioned He worked as the TD of the USVI for a year.
-
Ok not really too inspiring if you ask me.
-
Ok not really too inspiring if you ask me.
I am quite confident he will do a good job, providing TTFA keep their end of the bargain.

I'm pretty sure he won't, whether he's capable or not..he might as well volunteer part time for now
-
Kendall Wakes as technical director ? not sold on that one ! sorry .
-
Gally Cummings, Latas, Yorke, Leonson Lewis, Brian Williams are worthwhile names.
How Walkes got nominated is beyond me.
he getting paid?
I guess they can't ask back Latas seeing that he still waiting to get paid for the last job he did for the TTFF. ;D
-
I have heard that he has been appointed to the post for a while now, but a public announcement has not been made as yet.
-
VB be serious... that list is shaky
A Technical Director's role is so important for the structure and development of all national programmes. He also has to oversee development of coaches by leading courses etc.
The only man in T&T qualified enough for that job is Stephen Hart who has actually done it with Canada but he is the senior team coach and has his hands full.
A top T.D is as important as a top Head Coach of a senior team.
Stephen Hart, top head coach of Men's team.
Waldrum , top head coach of Women's team.
TTFA got 2 for 2 correct there but the investment in them has been poor with lack of games etc but I blame half of that on SporTT and M.O.S for the usual bullshit and politics.
A good T.D will need more investment than the 2 head coaches combined as he will have numerous programmes to plan and execute.
I would like to see Sherwood work with the T.D as a youth development director. He should also be given the Under 15 and U17 job in my opinion. Derek King deserves another crack at U20.
-
I have heard that he has been appointed to the post for a while now, but a public announcement has not been made as yet.
well goodluck to the man, I hope he has what it takes.
He can have the best ideas in the world but it will take a huge financial investment from TTFA, M.O.S/SporTT and Corporate T&T for him to execute it all.
-
That is where you'll are wrong he is more qualified than Gally, Yorke, Latas, Lewis or Williams. There is this huge misnomer that you have to have some sort of national experience ,which he does by the way, to be TD. I am from far his biggest fan I think he is a supercilious twat. Can he do it? He has enough experience coaching at the college level plus he has taught NSCAA courses. One of the things you'll don't understand is that there is a coaching cabal in TnT and he is quite close to that cabal.

that in itself is a big problem... friend thing won't work
-
Kendall Walkes ..de man is a staff coach at the NSCAA. The man spent his life in football..he has a lot of experience on the U.S coaching circuit..is a known man in the coaching world.
He has mentored many young and aspiring coaches in the USA. I don't know if he is a Master Coach but he holds a masters degree which means that he has been exposed to critical thinking, planning and organization.
I don't know the guy personally so I cannot tell what his vision is for Trinidad and Tobago.
Taking up a position like this, coming from the US would be a huge challenge. As a family man one would think that he would have to be paid for his services...I don't see how he could sustain and maintain his enthusiasm and motivation without being able to put food on the table.
This man is a regular on this site. I know for a fact that he, like most of you don't agree with my views...like most of you he would fervently express his disdain for me...that being said he should be okay in y'all's books.
-
VB...in my opinion Cummings and Yorke would be the two who would be candidates of credence..but Yorke can't live on that small money and Gally is forever on TTFA blacklist because Jack is still running de show.
-
Gally Cummings, Latas, Yorke, Leonson Lewis, Brian Williams are worthwhile names.

I guess they can't ask back Latas seeing that he still waiting to get paid for the last job he did for the TTFF. ;D
Maybe Ross Russell?
-
Allyuh rel jokey eh...
-
I have heard that he has been appointed to the post for a while now, but a public announcement has not been made as yet.
I heard some other things as well. It is amazing the lengths some will go to bear out a grudge. And half these jokers here shitting on the selection but don't know the first thing about Kendall Walkes nor can they name a better candidate under the circumstances.
-
Regarding a comment above: no one (no coach) should be given both the 15s and the 17s. These should be stewarded as separate portfolios. Indeed, there should be a 16 cohort treated separately as well.
-
if this is true good look to Kendall. He has a lot of ideas, a passion for the sport and from a football family.Let'see if they make it official.
-
I wonder if Richard Chinapoo was ever considered as a possible candidate for the job of T/D by the ttfa?
-
I have heard that he has been appointed to the post for a while now, but a public announcement has not been made as yet.
oh so they Secretive now eh
-
but I blame half of that on SporTT and M.O.S for the usual bullshit and politics.
I wonder what fraction of the US budget Obama earmarking to make sure USSF operations run smooth. I wonder if the republicans will give him a fight down for his allocation. I also wonder about america's favorite sport - American Football...I wonder what is the earmark for that too.
-
I have heard that he has been appointed to the post for a while now, but a public announcement has not been made as yet.

There could be many reasons why TTFA have not made this public knowledge yet (if it is indeed true). It may be that Mr Walkes doesn't want his employer to know that he is leaving. Hell, maybe he doesn't want his WIFE to know he's leaving!! More than likely there are minor contractual matters to resolve before an announcement. Whatever the reason, I don't believe that TTFA are being secretive.
-
There is this regressive tribal mentality that exists that says give it to Yorke or give it to Russell or Gally. That there is in itself part of the downfall of T&T both in sport and politics. If Walkes has indeed gotten the job he has proven himself as a coach on a far bigger stage than other people mentioned. Why not wait to see what his plans are but some of you'll launch criticism.
-
Well..it's refreshing to see that there are some people on this site who can be reasonable...the critics came out lashing out at the man despite having knowledge of the man's credentials.
I spare no words in my criticism of unqualified, unimaginative and flat out weak individuals who are given charge to lead in some footballing capacity of my Nation.
However in this case this individual has been operating in the U.S..granted Lincoln Phillips also operated in the US for many years before returning home..begs the question ..what difference could he make to the status quo?
I can see why some members on this site would have reservations. All we have to go on right now is his CV and his character.
We can only assume that because of his credentials that he is capable.. Technical Director of a large club in the US and the Virgin Islands would give him some experience ...but TTFF is disorganized.
If he goes into the position to just take the reigns continuing along the same course ...then that would not be good for us.
The position currently, requires someone with leadership experience, politically savvy, has knowledge of fund raising, planning, organization, is a visionaire with short term and long term goals, has an end goal in mind with means of achieving them...then he is our man..otherwise this move by the TTFF is but a shot in the dark.
-
Allyuh wait until the TTFA elections first nah! Men hit the ground running with hear say talk yes...
-
Good afternoon ladies and gents,
Firstly I'd like to say thanks for allow me to post on this forum over the past year or so.

All the best

Walkes pleased with TT talent pool
T&T Newsday
KENDALL WALKES, the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) Director of Football, who is currently overseeing the FA’s Grassroots clinics at different locations nationwide, has stated his delight with the showing of the youngsters so far.
“It’s a program launched by FIFA and it’s where everyone has the ability and opportunity to play football and it presents the opportunity to find the next Messi or Ronaldo in this era and in Trinidad and Tobago we want to find the next Dwight Yorke or Russell Latapy. It’s about giving every kid the opportunity to play the game,” said Walkes.
“We are going into the communities continuing a program which the FA already started using the indestructible footballs,” he continued. “We have had a fair amount of success with scouting so far I am urging the club coaches to send their players in club neutral environment.
I am challenging the zone to match my passion and energy together with my assistant Muhammad Isa.” Walkes, who took over the role which was vacated by Anton Corneal last year, continued, “it’s club neutral so everyone can play. We have Under 8s, Under 11s and Under 13s training for one hour for each age group with intense technical training.
The kids will be learning more about the game and no one is here to take players away which is what is meant by a club neutral environment.
It’s all about development at this stage. “For the kids who have come out so far I see a lot of natural talent. The game slows down tremendously when you challenge them mentally but if you were to just put the ball out and have them play they do some fantastic things.
I want to see the zones take a more hands on approach and really put the kids together and help with their development,” Walkes ended.
Lifestyle Motors has been a consistent supporter of the program and the TTFA is hopeful that other corporate bodies will get involved in the effort to spread and develop the game at the grassroots level.
The program will run for another five weeks at the following locations....
CENTRAL: Hugo Francis Recreational ground, Woodford Park (Mondays).
EASTERN COUNTIES: Ojoe Road Recreation Ground (Sangre Grande) (Tuesdays).
SOUTH: Lumsden Ground Park (Gasparillo) (Wednesdays).
EASTERN: Constantine Park (Thursdays).
NORTH: NELSON MANDELA PARK (Fridays).

mr.walkes: well to make a long story short, after a very long coaching stint in the US which came to an abrupt end, I found myself at a

Isa adapting to TTFA technical director role.
T&T Newsday Reports.
MUHAMMAD ISA is adapting to his new role as technical director of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA), after he was reportedly appointed a fortnight ago.
Isa, a former national youth team coach, was appointed by TTFA president David John-Williams as a replacement for the fired Kendall Walkes. However, Walkes has sought legal advice in his battle against John-Williams and the TTFA for unpaid fees.
As far as he is concerned, Isa is adapting smoothly to his new role.
During a recent interview, Isa said, “I’ve been adapting to it as normal, I think it’s something I’ve been doing before. It’s just officially now.”
Isa is still involved with TT Pro League outfit Club Sando, and he pointed out, “well nobody has spoken to be but my role with Club Sando - I’m a board member with Club Sando. So I’m still assisting the board as regards technical matters.”
As technical director, is his immediate focus the men’s team or all the various national teams? “I really don’t control the national team,” replied Isa. “It’s more concerns right now about doing programmes, including grassroots (and) elite programmes, trying to provide players for the national teams.”
Asked if he has spoken to any of the previous technical directors about what the role entails, Isa responded, “I have had discussions with Anton (Corneal) and recently I went a technical director workshop in Jamaica, which sort of guided me as to my roles and functions as a technical director.” And he noted that this appointment is the pinnacle of his administrative career in local football. “Yes I will say so, I think this is it for me,” said Isa.

Technical Director Isa to place emphasis on grassroots and Women’s football development
TTFA Media
Recently installed Technical Director of the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association Muhammad Isa says that among some of his immediate emphasis will be placed on grassroots and Women’s football development.
Speaking on Monday while at the TTFA Offices, Hasely Crawford Stadium, Isa, a former Police FC and Joe Public head coach, said he was using the first few weeks of his tenure to grasp the ins and outs of his new portfolio.
“The first couple weeks have gone very well. We are putting some plans in place in terms of development programs such as the youth development program with grassroots programs for kids between 6-13 years age, starting with the preschools for kids 3-5 year olds. Then once that is completed we are looking to have an elite development program for kids coming into the 14-19 year old bracket. We are looking to launch this in September,” Isa told TTFA Media.
He touched on the current preparations of the Under 20 Men’s Team which is gearing towards the CFU qualifiers starting at the Ato Boldon Stadium on June 15th.
“The preparations have gone very well. Brian Williams has done well in the short space of time. They screened close to 90 players to come down to the final selection and they are eager to get on the field and begin the qualifiers.
“And for the Under 15 Women’s team there are 45 players in training now under Marlon Charles and his staff who have been doing a tremendous job.”
As to his feelings on the recent three-match tour by the Senior Men’s Team, Isa preferred to focus on the positives.
“People might be saying that we lost all three games but the emphasis is not always to win practice games but it is to expose our players to a higher level of football.”
Looking ahead to the rest of the calendar year, Isa is anticipating a hectic period for T&T football.
“The aim is to continue the development program as we go forward. We will be placing more emphasis on women’s development. I don’t think we have paid enough attention to women’s football that is required to take them to the next level.
“We will also look to continue the coaching development programs. Trinidad and Tobago for the last couple of years was given the opportunity to go the Dutch way. I have spoken to some of the instructors who are willing to come back and continue the coach education program,” he said.
And the responsibility of being a technical director is something Isa is embracing fully.
“It’s a very important opportunity for me. It is something that I was doing before. Now I am totally responsible for it. I am liaising with my technical committee and the other coaches around the region to put the best plan in place for the development of our football,” he said
Things to Know
- Muhammad Isa was a member of the coaching staff of the Trinidad and Tobago team that captured the 1992 Shell Caribbean Cup. The team included the likes of Russell Latapy, Clint Marcelle, Dwight Yorke, Leonson Lewis and Hutson Charles to a 3-1 victory over Jamaica in the Final on June 27th, 1992 at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
- He was also part of the team for the opening 1994 World Cup Qualifying leg against Barbados which T&T won 5-1 on aggregate. Brazilian Clovis D’Oliviera took the reigns as head coach and T&T went on to lose 3-2 on aggregate to Jamaica in the next stage of qualification.
- Isa is a former St Benedict’s College Head Coach. He has also served as head coach of Police FC and Joe Public and technical director of Club Sando.
- He was appointed as a member of the TTFA Technical Committee in January, 2016, having previously served as a technical advisor and as one of the TTFA coaching instructors and grassroots coaches.

If we have any momentum from stopping the Fevrier hiring, we have to use it for a MOVEMENT to pressure the TTFA to get a competent Technical Director.
In June the man putting plans in place for youth development with special emphasis on woman, he stated:
Pre-K and Kindergarden for ages 3-5
Grass roots ages 6-13
Elite Development Program for ages 14-19
All starting in September 2016--where the plans? Where the programs?
Anybody believe this is the person for our future?

Beenhakker should be hired back but only if we pay for it, not FIFA..
This is ridiculous
-
I remember under Hart, Leo was our TD and it served us very well.
But who is our current TD and will that remain the same under Tallest?
-
Muhammad Isa is Technical Director ...The Terrorist is TTFA Technical Programs coordinator
Doh ask me de difference
-
Muhammad Isa is Technical Director ...The Terrorist is TTFA Technical Programs coordinator
Doh ask me de difference
So the question remains, how will Tallest function within this framework?
I notice he didn't ask for a technical director, so I assume he will not be taking advice from these two technical directors...
-
What are you talking about? Request a technical director?
Do not confuse the function of a technical director with that of an advisor which was what Beenhakker was

Do not confuse the function of a technical director with that of an advisor which was what Beenhakker was
Technical directors have direct influence on our national teams... now from what I know, Leo was our TD unless I am mistaken... or was he our technical advisor?
-
Advisor.
Technical director responsible for the development of the various national team programs and player pool and coach development.
Isa seems to be doing not much after replacing Walkes. So they bring Jamaal in some other role that seem to be the same.
Meanwhile DJW like he was the advisor because who else pick Saintfiet squads?
-
Do we really need one while DJW is running things?

Thanks for the clarification brother... i was under the impression he was TD and I know that's the TD function as you stated above... I guess we can equate TD to director of football in Europe...
I believe you're on to something with that, beenhakker left and wasn't brought back because of the mistreatment of the staff around Hart and the dictator inserted himself into the position of advisor covertly to pick the squads, unless the terrorizer was really advisor with the dictator which is also a possibility...

FIFA Technical Directors Course comes to a close in Trinidad.
TTFA Media.
The FIFA Technical Directors Workshop came to a close at the Hilton Trinidad on Friday with the presentation of certificates to the participants following five days of intense discussions,bilateral meetings, analysis and interactive sessions both on and off the field.
FIFA head of technical development services Jurg Nepfer was in attendance for the first half of the workshop and he was accompanied by FIFA Group Leader Roberto Perna, FIFA Technical Consultants Willi Ruttensteiner, Rodrigo Kenton and Lenny Lake along with local technical Director and FIFA TD expert Anton Corneal and FIFA Regional Development manager Marlon Glean.
“We wanted to orchestrate this workshop on four pillars. One of those was to know more about the situations of the technical directors here; we wanted to give them some tools for their operations on a daily basis with handbooks and hope they can work a little bit easier with their daily routines; thirdly we had bilateral meetings with each technical director to elaborate specific and tailor made systems for them and finally we used practical analysis with match analysis, training observation and coaching education observation,” Nepfer told TTFA Media. The practical sessions were conducted during training sessions and game situations with the Trinidad and Tobago Women’s Senior Team, the Elite Under 15 Boys Team and Prisons FC.
“With this we hope we can improve the knowledge of the technical directors in the member associations It is part of a process and not an isolated event and we want to be closer to these TDs and support them. We also want to do some monitoring to be able to assist them better in their work for the development of football in their specific countries,” Nepfer added.
Pena who spoke at the closing on Friday added that the football was different in each country.
“The head coach and the technical director of the an association are not necessary competitors even through their roles are different. OF course they must work together but their are clear roles and responsibilities and they must work together, This course had a nice atmosphere. The technical director is really at the top of the pyramid. There is really quality here and a lot of potential. This course has not come to an end but is the start of your life as technical directors. Following our bilateral meetings here, we will put together all the key points and send the action plans next week to all the national associations and this is a very important part of this course,” Perna said.
The participants who received their certificates included John Reilly of British Virgin Islands, Eustace Bailey (US Virgin Islands), Wendell Downswell (Jamaica), Anton Corneal (Trinidad and Tobago), Russell Latapy (Trinidad and Tobago), Dennis Lawrence (Trinidad and Tobago), Desiree Sergeant (Trinidad and Tobago), Ian Greenwood (Guyana), Biswajeet Kali (Suriname), Alexander Gonzales (Cayman Islands), Marlon Glean (FIFA Regional Development Manager), Lenny Lake and Rodrigo Kenton (FIFA) and Jeffrey Hazel of St Kitts/Nevis.

On the face of it, there are lots of indications within this advertisement to suggest that someone is in the game with "house money". I use the word 'suggest' under pain of restraint.
Almost amusing although patently transparent. One hand does indeed wash the other.
I might concur in the conclusion but not in the collusion.
