#APPOINTED TASK PLANNER 2019 WINDOWS#
The qualifying tournament will take place during the Fifa women’s international match windows in September, October, and November, and will include 35 Concacaf nations divided into three leagues. Hood’s first assignment in competition will be qualifiers for the Concacaf Women’s Gold Cup. He also possesses the required experience coaching national women teams and understands the women’s competition in our region,” Corneal shared. Richard Hood demonstrated during his interview and application, the necessary areas of expertise for the position. Technical Director Corneal explained the reason behind Hood’s appointment. So, I’m looking forward to the challenge ahead and will approach same with tremendous enthusiasm and optimism and god’s willing, we will succeed in our task,” Hood noted. “My immediate task is to establish the availability of players and I’ve already made several contacts in that regard. He also served as head coach of the Under-20 team in 2020, at the Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Championship, and was assistant coach of the Under-17 team for the 2010 FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup when the twin island republic played host. Hood is no stranger to the position as he once guided T&T to the quarter finals of the Pan American Games in 2011 and Concacaf Olympic Qualifiers in 2016. I am keen to start the process as quickly as possible because we have a very short preparation time before the first assignment in September,” he added.
We have a very challenging passage into the 2024 Gold Cup but it’s not one that’s insurmountable. “Of course, it’s always an honour and privilege to represent Trinidad and Tobago, particularly at the senior level. I am deeply humbled and appreciative,” Hood told TTFA media. “I would like to thank the NC for having faith in me as well as the interviewing committee for recommending me for the position. Hood’s duties began with immediate effect, with his backroom staff which will include critical expertise in the area of performance and video analysis, to be named in short order.
The selection panel which comprised TTFA’s technical director, Anton Corneal, Jinelle James, director women’s football, former national player Steve David and Ken Butcher, former minister of sport and youth affairs and sport director at UTT, initially narrowed the list to 30 and then to 14, before Hood and two others were interviewed. Hood was deemed best fit for the post by a selection panel, which had to sieve through 151 applicants. Richard Hood is once again the man charged with moving Trinidad and Tobago’s senior women’s football programme forward, as he was recently appointed Head coach for a second time by the Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA).
