Trinidad and Tobago Pro League outfit San Juan Jabloteh have sacked Earl Jean and fellow members of his coaching staff from their positions.
The move ushers the return of former coach Terry Fenwick for the third time following legal turmoil with the club, and a season in which Jabloteh have so far been empty-handed.
’I have been around football in T&T over the last year keeping my eyes on players in the Pro League and even in the Secondary Schools Football League,’ said Fenwick.
Jean came to the position at the start of the season, when the CLICO Group - Jabloteh’s main sponsors - ran into financial difficulty, and the club could no longer afford to pay Fenwick’s fees.
Under the St. Lucian’s guidance, Jabloteh started the season with a third place finish in the Caribbean Football Union Club Championship, and qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League, where they eventually reached the group stages, but failed to win a single match.
On the home front, Jabloteh failed to recapture any of the three trophies they had won under Fenwick from the previous season.
But Fenwick believes he can put things back together again for next season.
I’m now looking forward to taking the club back to the top of local football,’ said the ex-England international.
’I am looking to recruit some young quality players from the school system, and add some players from other clubs who will be out of contract.’
