Former Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) physical trainer and University of Technology (UTECH) lecturer, Andre Waugh, has taken up a new role as Caribbean Development Manager for CONCACAF.
The former Portmore United Technical Director resigned from his JFF and UTECH posts to take up the offer. Waugh expressed the desire to help uplift the general standard of football in the region and believes his experience from both of his former jobs will serve him well in his new capacity.
“I really want to make a mark. Money is rewarding but I want to lay in my bed at night and feel I have made a contribution and a mark,” he told The Gleaner.
“It has always been my desire to serve at the highest level, so this opportunity from CONCACAF will allow me to pretty much put what I have been doing in both organisations, JFF and UTech, together and try to give back on a wider scale,” he added.
As Caribbean Development Manager, Waugh will coordinate and supervise development activities specific to the Caribbean through CONCACAF. This includes coaching education programmes, women’s football, liaising with different technical directors of the region, and assisting with development programmes.
