Description
John Barnes has been named as the new coach of the Jamaica national team. The 44-year-old former Liverpool and England winger , who was born in Kingston, will take up duties in November after agreeing a one-year deal with the Jamaica Football Federation. Barnes takes over from Brazilian Rene Simoes, who was sacked as technical director last week. The post is Barnes’ first job in management since an ill-fated spell in charge of Celtic in 1999-2000 and he is relishing the challenge.
