Former T&T striker Dwight Yorke has been confirmed as the new head coach of the T&T Soca Warriors, who would be heading into the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers next year.
He expectedly got the nod of interim coach Derek King who took over from Angus Eve in July, and three other coaches said to be international coaches, in a shortlist of five from an initial list of over 400.
A short while ago, the T&T Football Association issued a statement confirming the former Manchester United striker as the coach after more than a month since the invitations for the coaching job went out.
TTFA President Kieron Edwards said Yorke's experience, leadership and commitment to the red, white and black of T&T, “are exactly what we need to inspire our players and our nations.”
Yorke is expected in next week to start work with the team, which could face an immediate international friendly during the window of November 11-19.
