Newly reappointed National Men’s Senior Team Head Coach Russell Latapy has set a date of March 10, 2010 to resume preparations which will see the Team training twice weekly on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
This was disclosed by Latapy this week following the announcement of his reappointment by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation.
Trinidad and Tobago’s National Under 17 women’s team got a moral boosting result and probably the best in the history of local women’s action on the international stage when they held Canada’s Under 17s 1-1 in the closing fixture of the 4Nation Tournament at the Mannie Ramjohn Stadium on Friday night.
Russell Latapy has been reappointed Head Coach of Trinidad and Tobago’s Men’s National Senior Team after being offered and accepting a two-year contract in the first instance.
This was announced at a media conference hosted by the T&T Football Federation at the President’s Box, Queen’s Park Oval on Tuesday afternoon. Click on Videos for addresses by Latapy, Jack Warner and Lincoln Phillips

"It's the start of another journey. We tried last year to reach the World Cup finals but just didn't do it.We know our capabilities and have very good players capable of
fitting into the national team. Our aim (Sunday night) was to beat
Grenada by four goals and we had that score at half-time which allowed
our coach (Vidale) to use his two other strikers who need as much
practice as they could get." - T&T Captain Clayton Morris following T&T's 5-0 win over Grenada in the opener of the 990 Shell Caribbean Cup July 23,1990
