00:00All is the best option for TNT football.
00:13That's the position of TTFE President Kyron Edwards after being drilled on the hiring
00:17of football legend Dwight York as head coach of this country's national football team.
00:22The president speaking on sister station 995 was responding to whether an international
00:26coach was a better option as Jamaica have done with Englishman Steve McLaren.
00:31Jamaica pathway is a bit different and they have their coach, they've selected a coach
00:36based on their pathway to qualify for the World Cup.
00:39Our pathway is a bit different.
00:41We need a coach that understands the culture, understands the culture that we have with
00:45players coming back in 2-3 days before a game.
00:49So Dwight was the ideal choice for us that understands the culture of teams in counter
00:56calf as well that will bounce up.
00:58They changed the format of World Cup qualifying so we knew that that one-off game to get those
01:03guys revved up, mindset right, in terms of that professional way to approach a game,
01:10I think Dwight really brings that to Trinidad and Tobago football.
01:15And President Edwards said that the relationship with Dwight York as head coach is based on
01:19one measure and that is World Cup qualification.
01:24This project for our executive, for Dwight, it's about qualifying for the World Cup.
01:32It's qualifying for the World Cup or nothing.
01:35So I'm sure I know Dwight's pride.
01:39He would not stay on with the TTFE and with any club if he has failed to the extent above
01:45his high standards.
01:46So you're saying, and you can tell me to put words in your mouth and I don't want to put
01:51words in your mouth Mr. Edwards.
01:53Of course that would be a part of the clause that if we don't qualify for the World Cup.
01:56So if we don't qualify, Dwight York gone?
01:58Of course we'll have to restructure, we'll have to relook the contract.
02:02Well talking about the World Cup, Dwight York will have his first test as head coach when
02:07the FIFA International window opens next week and hopefully you will have the services
02:12of AK Athens striker Levi Garcia.
02:14Well that's because Garcia is back to full fitness having started in the last four matches,
02:19the latest of which he scored the winner in their 1-0 win over Astromitos to stay within
02:24three points of league leaders Aris.
02:37It's an amazing center to mark Levi Garcia who does his job, second goal this year.
02:46He has never scored against Astromitos, he scores the goals of the delays.
02:52Here Hanzi Sapi, everyone is covered.
02:57Obviously there is a ready for foul on Mansour and as you can see the goals are being checked.
03:04Now Mr. Vergetis has confirmed it.
