The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has appointed Assistant Technical Director Bryan Joseph to the post of acting Technical Director, a move which was done in recognition of his results-driven record with the respective youth development programmes locally.
This was stated in a release from the federation. According to the correspondence, the former Milerock FC coach, who previously served in the capacity of Youth Development Officer, and National junior coach at various levels, is currently training for a CONCACAF A-Licence. He is a holder of a CONCACAF B-Licence. Joseph replaces former Technical Director Englishman Ian Greenwood, whose tenure came to an end in March. He had been at the helm since October 2016.
GFF President Wayne Forde said, “Bryan has been instrumental in the great strides we have made developing sustainable development programmes across Guyana for boys and girls. His appointment underlines our long-term commitment to upskill and empower Guyana-based talent across the spectrum of our activities.”
He further said, “As part of GFF’s commitment to Bryan’s long-term development, he is actively working his way through the Concacaf coaching license pathway, in addition to further upskilling opportunities through our partnership with UEFA Assist and the Danish Football Association. All this is geared towards ensuring that Guyana produces an eminently qualified Technical Director in the future.”
Meanwhile, Joseph said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to further serve Guyana’s football in this capacity. It is another step in working towards my dream. I am committed to ensuring that the development curve of Guyana’s football remains on the incline as I look to further strengthen the existing programmes that are working well for us, as well as design and implement new programs to take us even further.”
He added, “I am happy that my commitment and hard work over the years have been recognised by President Forde and the Executive Committee. They’ve invested tremendously in my professional development over the years and I will do everything within my power to ensure that the rewards match that investment. I look forward to the usual support of the stakeholders in the game as we push forward collectively.”
