Kelvin Jack: ‘The messages of support were humbling… I leave with my head high’

The following is a press statement from former Trinidad and Tobago Men’s National Senior Team assistant coach and goalkeeper coach and 2006 World Cup goalkeeper Kelvin Jack CM:

I would like to take the time to thank the fans for their incredible support during my short tenure as an assistant and goalkeeping coach of the Senior National Football Team. The hundreds of messages of support were truly humbling. 

I want to thank the members of staff for making me feel so welcomed from my first day on the job.  To the players: I thank you for the respect and absolute commitment you displayed. Please never give up.

Although the ultimate mission was not achieved, be sure to know that I gave my absolute best everyday in my role. I go away with my head held high knowing that my love and passion for my country is even stronger; it’s infinite.

I love you guys and I’m sure this story is only on pause. I will be supporting you guys from afar.

Thank you.
