Eve resigns from Trinidad and Tobago women’s football team

In a surprising turn of events, Angus Eve, the newly appointed head coach of Trinidad and Tobago’s women’s football team, has resigned before overseeing his first match. The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) confirmed Eve’s resignation on October 21, following social media reports that he had submitted a resignation letter to Jinelle James, the TTFA’s director of women’s football. Eve, a former national standout, was officially appointed on September 30, with Densill Theobald named as his assistant coach. His departure leaves the team without a permanent head coach once again, just as they prepare for the Concacaf Women’s qualifiers next month. The team is scheduled to play a friendly against Jamaica on October 28 at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva. Efforts to reach TTFA officials for further comments were unsuccessful. In his resignation letter dated October 19, Eve expressed gratitude for the opportunity and offered to assist in the transition process. The team recently played a practice game against Naparima College’s under-14 team and is finalizing its squad for the upcoming friendly. Key players in the training squad include veterans Karyn Forbes, Naomie Guerra, Victoria Swift, and strikers Kennya Cordner and Nikita Gosine. Trinidad and Tobago will face Barbados in their first Concacaf qualifier on November 30.
