Former Manchester United and Trinidad and Tobago striker Dwight Yorke has been named head coach of the national team. At 52, Yorke boasts an impressive history with Trinidad and Tobago, having earned 72 caps from 1989 to 2009 and scored 19 goals, including captaining the team at the 2006 World Cup.
After retiring in 2009, he served as an assistant manager for the national squad. This marks Yorke’s second managerial role, having previously managed Australian A-League side Macarthur during the 2022-23 season, where he achieved 10 wins in 19 matches and secured the Australia Cup.
“I am proud and privileged to take on the role of leading the Trinidad and Tobago national team,” Yorke stated. “I look forward to working with this talented and cohesive group of players. My dedication to Trinidad and Tobago, which includes helping the team reach the semi-finals of the Concacaf Gold Cup in 2000 and captaining at the 2006 World Cup, is well known.”
Currently, Trinidad and Tobago sits at 102nd in the world rankings.
