Beehakker Wouldn’t Say No to England Job

Add another name to the list of coaches interested in replacing Sven-Goran Eriksson as coach of England. Trinidad and Tobago coach Leo Beenhakker says he would take the England gig, but he doesn’t think it will be offered to a foreign coach.

“There are several offers you get as a coach that you can’t say no to, this is one of them,” added the 63-year-old. “England is an historic country with great players. It all started here and it’s a magic football country.

“But they seem to want an English or British coach, so until they change, leave me alone for this match,” he joked.

Beenhakker is a good coach but I don’t see him ever being tapped for England. I do think that he will use his success with the Soca Warriors to land another, more profitable position, but for now he is all ours and I am pleased that we have such an experienced and successful coach to lead us into Germany.
