Jamaican-born former Liverpool and England football star  will not take up the job as technical director until November 1, but he is now in the island to view Jamaica’s two World Cup games against Mexico and Honduras. He was introduced officially at a reception at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston yesterday.
Barnes, who replaces Rene Simoes, believes Jamaica have a talented group of players who have been exposed to the highest level and he is confident that with the hard work, discipline, togetherness and a strong team spirit, they can achieve great things.
