KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaicans, at least those responding to the Jamaica Observer Online poll feel that the Reggae Boyz would be best served by a European coach, if not a local.
Over the week of the poll — from what area of the world should the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) recruit the next Reggae Boyz coach— 41 per cent of respondents said Europe.However, 37 per cent felt that a local coach should be recruited. And despite Jamaica’s affinity to South American football and the fact that the country’s only trip the World Cup was with a Brazilian, only 19 per cent of respondents would want a coach from that part of the world.Meanwhile, a coach from North America had little support polling a mere three per cent.Former Reggae Boyz head coach, local-based Theodore Whitmore tendered his resignation following the Boyz’ 2-0 defeat to Honduras in that country on June 11. That loss culminated of a string of unfavourable results that included home defeats to the Mexico (1-0) on June 4 and the USA (2-1) on June 7. Prior to those games, the Boyz also lost 2-0 away to Costa Rica on March 26.Like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jamaicaobserverFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/JamaicaObserverHOUSE RULES
