Dwight Yorke has left his job as head coach of Trinidad and Tobago after refusing to take a pay cut in the wake of the nation failing to qualify for the World Cup this summer. But the former striker was unable to recreate the same magic from the dugout, with the Soca Warriors finishing third in their World Cup qualifying group in November of last year. A final 1-1 draw to Jamaica condemned Yorke's side just months after they made the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup finals. Yorke scored 18 times during his 72 matches for his national side, sporting the armband at the 2006 World Cup when Trinidad and Tobago drew 0-0 with Sweden. Yorke's stint in the dugout following the end of his playing career in 2009 has been brief to date.
