Newly appointed head coach of Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz Theodore “Tappa” Whitmore has call up a squad of 23 players for a local pre-Gold Cup camp which will run until Saturday, June 22. National captain Ricardo Gardner and Stoke City striker Ricardo Fuller will join up with the national team along with Tivoli Gardens midfielder Sheldon Palmer, who has earned his first invitation to the Reggae Boyz group.
Whitmore took over the coaching reins from former Liverpool and England midfielder, Jamaican John Barnes. Barnes was hired in November after the JFF fired Brazilian Rene Simoes, and has led the Reggae Boyz to a winning record of five wins and four draws along with winning the Digicel Caribbean Cup in December.
Barnes, who will be leaving to take up an offer with English League Two club Tranmere Rovers said "Ideally, I'd loved to have stayed for the Gold Cup, but I respect the decision of the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) in giving Theodore Whitmore sufficient time to prepare the team for what will be a tremendous task." The decision not to renew Barnes’ contract has been a topic of debate in TheReggaeBoyz.com forum as some discuss if Whitmore will be held at the same level of accountability as Barnes? Some members have even suggested that Barnes should run for the presidency of the JFF. Give us your views in the forum.
Also recalled to the Gold Cup squad are Roland Dean and Jerry Walters from Tivoli Gardens and Portmore United’s Eric Vernan and Brian Bayliss. The squad will be trimmed at the end of the local camp on Saturday.....More in the News | More in the Forum
