Bulls Abroad: Theodore Whitmore appointed Jamaica coach

The Jamaica Football Federation had created a bit of a coaching crisis for itself by offending the man it had intended to appoint to replace Winfried Schafer at the helm of the Reggae Boyz.

But the crisis is resolved. Theodore "Tappa" Whitmore was announced as interim head coach of the Jamaica Men's National Team while the JFF was still explaining its side of the story Carl Brown had related to the media of the "insulting and disrespectful" offer he received to take charge of the team. Jerome Waite will be Whitmore's assistant.

The coaching team is only appointed for the upcoming October Caribbean Cup qualifiers, though it can be assumed to be auditioning for a longer-term role.
