With the installation of Otto Pfister by The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation as the new head coach of the Soca Warriors, the questions before Keith Look Loy and his confidantes will be what will be Pfister's significant added value given the deficiencies with our players, and Trinidad and Tobago's Football Federation in its failure to provide the necessary and required support for Russell Latapy to succeed.
It is expected that Pfister will get significantly more support from T&TFF than Latapy will ever dream of getting. I suspect that we will see funding magically becoming readily available for more tours and competitive games to develop the players, and acceding to request in the player's interest. While I'm of the understanding that Latapy will be part of this vision and new coaching structure, we must ensure that he (Latapy) is given the credit for providing the platform for Otto Pfister to build upon.Let's trust that Pfister can add value and transfer of knowledge, and not that he is profiting from Latapy's knowledge imparted to him by Bobby Robson among others.
