The FI­FA ap­point­ed Nor­mal­i­sa­tion Com­mit­tee (NC) of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) has ap­point­ed An­gus Eve on Sun­day as In­ter­im head coach of the T&T se­nior men's team ahead of the Con­ca­caf Gold Cup Pre­lim­i­nary Round which takes place next month.

Eve, the coach of Na­pari­ma Col­lege on ac­cept­ing the po­si­tion, which runs un­til Au­gust 31, told TTFA Me­dia that: “I’m re­al­ly ho­n­oured and priv­i­leged to have this op­por­tu­ni­ty to con­tin­ue to rep­re­sent my coun­try. I’m com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing a lift to Trinidad and To­ba­go, es­pe­cial­ly in this time where we are bat­tling with so many dif­fer­ent ad­ver­si­ties at the same time.”

With the Gold Cup around the cor­ner where the So­ca War­riors will face off against Montser­rat on Ju­ly 2 in Fort Laud­erdale, FL, USA, the ap­point­ment of an In­ter­im head coach had to be made in very short or­der. As such, a se­lec­tion pan­el of NC mem­ber Nicholas Gomez, for­mer na­tion­al coach and Tech­ni­cal di­rec­tor An­ton Corneal and for­mer na­tion­al play­ers An­tho­ny Sher­wood and Richard Chi­napoo met on Sat­ur­day to fi­nal­ize the se­lec­tion of the re­place­ment for Eng­lish­man Ter­ry Fen­wick, who was fired on Fri­day, along while the staff of as­sis­tant Kelvin Jack and Derek King were al­so re­lieved of their du­ties.

Eve, 49, a for­mer na­tion­al play­er was rec­om­mend­ed to the NC as the pre­ferred can­di­date.

NC Chair­man Robert Hadad stat­ed, “We thank the pre­vi­ous coach­ing staff for their com­mit­ment and ef­forts. We now look for­ward to the Gold Cup com­pe­ti­tion and wish An­gus all the best. We will do our very best to sup­port him and the team.”

The NC will be con­sult­ing with Eve to fi­nal­ize his coach­ing staff.

Af­ter the Gold Cup, a process over­seen by an in­de­pen­dent se­lec­tion pan­el will in­vite and re­view ap­pli­ca­tions, in an­tic­i­pa­tion of ap­point­ing the new Se­nior Men’s Na­tion­al Team head coach in Sep­tem­ber 2021.
