For the History fans, there is a nice photo of the NYT 1979, names such as Curtis Riley, Tractor Belgrave, Errol Lovell, Vernon Skinner and others.

Interesting stuff. He seems like one of our better coaches - does he love youth coaching too much to take the helm of a first-team in the near future?

I think it's just a matter of opportunity. He was the Coach for United Petrotrin and Sanfernando Giants. He was also the Asst. Coach to the NST in the past.
But the man have a consistent income with WC so I guess he know better than to end up with a fly by night team.

he has coached befor,e youth teams, defensively passable, offensively slow and one dimensional with no counter-attacking or at least poorly implemented counter-attacking, was 11 or 12 during Italia 90 WCQ, was the strike squad play slow, it never struck me as slow but I was 11-12 at that age your sense of perception can be very misleading, but SLOW is a common complaint about our football recently and is dat generation coachin now ???

Strange you should say slow. I had a friend who used to play for Trintoc. Long story short he was brought on as a sub in an exhibition game for TT around '88 - low level game.
As he put it: "It's a good thing I made a few good passes. In general, I played shit. Them men must be some kind of half horse, the way they (TT) was playing fast."
Strike Squad to me was like Brazil Light - good skill and build up. But perhaps a pro player might have a different opinion.

that my sense too, it is why the seeming lethargic nature of his team play as a coach did baffle me.

I knew he coached before, but wondered why he hadn't dived in again. Given a steady wage you're probably right that it's better not to mess with that.

Update to the article in the final three paragraphs, mentioning Club Nacional and quotes on BW from Richard Chinapoo.
