Director of the Barbados Soccer Academy, Jabez “Jack” Bovell, has called for the resignation of the leading men in Barbados’ Football, after the Tridents’ embarrassing 8-1 drubbing at the hands of Bermuda last Friday in the CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifiers at the DRV PNK Stadium in Florida.
In an interview with
Barbados TODAY, Bovell suggested that the national team had declined from a place of promise in the early 2000s. “It is like a small bakery that makes fantastic bread, garnering a lot of sales, but then expanding and it begins to struggle. In 2021, you have Astro turfs, more resources from FIFA, more administrative staff, better wages for the coaches but the BFA (Barbados Football Administration) is not results-oriented like it was in 2000. I am so disappointed,” he said, identifying the Barbados “head coach” [Russell Latapy] and “BFA president” [Randy Harris] as the persons who should quit.
