I feel we should get another good coach coming in for the national team, and I think that coach would be Jorge Sampaoli!
This guy has pedigree and he helped Chile to become a very strong team and even after being sacked, his spirit is still with the team. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Sampaoli

He's with Sevilla in Spain now for two years, I would say let's keep looking and see what he does and that can help to give us a better idea if we should aggressively pursue this man.

You have to admit our team can be aggressive and passionate when it comes to defending, but when it comes to attacking and scoring, we lack abilities there. Jorge is notorious for being attack minded.

Jorge Sampaoli for Reggae Boys manager!

That's my $0.02 anyway.

Ambassador Stewart Stephenson says it is his intention to seek another term as president of the Kingston & St Andrew Football Association.

Stephenson, who was elected in August 2014, had said during that campaign build-up that he would only serve one term. But it appears that his position has changed.

"So far, that's my intention [to run again], but you never know. I have some personal challenges so I need to address those before I take a position," he told OBSERVER ONLINE.

Stephenson said the selling of KSAFA's current property that houses their offices, and putting in a sustainable infrastructure for clubs are two objectives yet to be completed.

He said those are the primary reasons he is likely to run for another term.

"I would like to complete those before I step aside," he said.

According to a new directive from the Jamaica Football Federation, all parish and association elections are due by March 2016.

The Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) wishes to advise the football fraternity and the general public that Captain Horace Burrell, President of the JFF, has taken ill in the United States over the past weekend. As a result, Captain Burrell is currently undergoing a series of medical tests.

Captain Burrell has requested privacy, patience and understanding during this time. Further, he wishes to thank all his colleagues for the unqualified support and well wishes. He is confident he will return in short order to continue his service to the football fraternity.

In the meantime, the Vice – Presidents of the JFF along with the General Secretariat will continue to oversee the day to day governance and administration of the sport.

The Premier League Clubs’ Association (PLCA) is committed to developing the sport of football through the length and breath of the island, and to assisting its members as they develop the game in their respective sphere. Along with our committed sponsors, from which our Members all with special requirements benefit, the financial assistance received provides a consistent source of support for our Members. However, to able support the continued development the programme requires much greater assistance.

History was made in the 2011/2012 RSPL with the dawn of the exciting Monday Nights Live which gave renewed energy to the League and no doubt made new fans of the game. The competition itself was full of high quality football that we have come to expect from the best players in our country.

The PLCA has done well to ensure the efficient and effective deployment of the limited funds available. The accomplishments thus far have proved what the PLCA and those devoted to the progress of football in Jamaica are capable of and it is fully deserving of the trust that the JFF has placed in us as a whole.

All those involved must, however, also assume responsibility because football is much more than just a game, and as a result of its social, economic, cultural and educational dimensions it occupies an important position in society. Football stakeholders must rise to the challenge and use the power of football to build a better future.

I am convinced that the PLCA is on the right path, and combined with the diligence and daily work of ALL our members the future of football in Jamaica will be bright.

There are big plans to develop St Ann’s premier football facility into a multi-sporting venue, including three world-standard tennis courts by Tennis Jamaica.

Andrew Salm of AMBS Development and a member of the Salm family which owned the property, in handing over the title to Mayor Desmond Gilmore in the council’s office, called for the community to support the council in its drive to develop sporting facilities at Drax Hall.

The 32 acres that were under the control of the council, and which the title covers, already contain the parish’s top football field, a practice football field and a cricket field.

Salm said he was pleased to be able to hand over the title, 25 years after discussions were initiated between his grandfather and former secretary/manager at the council, Cynthia Graham, and former member of parliament Manley Bowen.

“I guess maybe 25 years ago there was a plan to develop sport in St Ann, which Ms Graham, Mr Bowen and my grandfather were part of. We’re pleased that we can now hand over the title to the council,” Salm stated.

“I know they’ve been hampered in their progress of developing sport because of the delay in handing over the title.”

Salm was also pleased with the move by Tennis Jamaica.

“I’m excited that the council was working with (Tennis Jamaica), who I understand have the financing to be able to push tennis once again in St Ann. I’m hoping that the local community will be able to get behind the council and support any other development they have for any other sport so the dream can be realised.”
