Maturana quit on the back of T&T’s poor results so far in World Cup qualifying which has seen the twin-island republic go winless in three outings. The Soca Warriors have secured a mere two points from three CONCACAF qualifiers in a dismal bid so far to qualify for the 2010 World Cup Finals in South Africa. “The technical coaching staff, led by Mr. Francisco Maturana, has offered their resignations to the Executive Committee of the TTFF due to differences in opinions regarding the way forward in the FIFA 2010 World Cup Qualification Campaign for South Africa. The resignations were subsequently accepted by the Executive Committee of the TTFF,” the TTFF said. The Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation (TTFF) also moved swiftly to put Latapy in charge with Zoran Vranes, the current National Under-20 coach, as his assistant. The 60-year-old Maturana, 14 months into the job, offered his resignation at a meeting Wednesday morning when the performance and future of Trinidad and Tobago team were discussed. The local governing body thanked him for his services. “The TTFF wishes to thank Coach Francisco Maturana and his technical staff for their service to our nation's football these past months,” the TTFF said in a release. Maturana coached Colombia in the 1990 and 1994 World Cups and also had coaching jobs with other national teams Ecuador, Peru and Costa Rica. Latapy had been player/coach of the squad – under Maturana’s watch – as T&T drew with El Salvador (2-2) and Honduras (1-1) and lost 3-0 to the USA in World Cup qualifiers in the past two months. The 40-year-old Latapy, who played for more than 10 years in Europe, responded enthusiastically to his appointment. Add this article to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites
