Both Guyanese striker Gregory Richardson and coach Keith Griffith will leave Trinidad and Tobago professional club Joe Public next season.
Griffith announced that United States Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs Columbus Crew, New England Revolution and San Jose Earthquakes all wanted to sign the fleet-footed Guyanese, following his terrific showing over two legs in the CONCACAF Champions League against the Revolution, including scoring a hat trick in Public's 4-0 victory, in the away leg in Boston earlier this month.

"He has to take his chance now," Griffith said. "What I can say is that it is very unlikely that Gregory Richardson will be a Joe Public player next season."

Griffith also revealed that he, too, will be departing Joe Public after his six-month stint is completed.

He said he is unlikely to change his mind, as at age 64, he can no longer stand the day-to-day pressure of being coach of a professional club. Griffith said he may consider staying on, if given a job developing youth teams.
