On paper both results look like slender defeats, but were far from it and the Reggae Boyz notched a penalty in each contest. The stuttering coach altered his first 4-2-2-2 formation against Qatar to a more solid 4-3-3 line-up against Jordan. However, neither displays were not eye-catching as Jamaica lacked cohesion.
The veteran will be shielded by a choice from Hallgrimsson’s defenders that includes Di’Shon Bernard, recently released by Manchester United, and stalwart Adrian Mariappa. Brentford’s brilliant Ethan Pinnock has been named, but he may be replaced as his wife recently experienced problems giving birth.In such a results-driven industry, he must accept responsibility for seemingly taking the Reggae Boyz backwards since his appointment in January.
His remit was to rebuild and fine tune his squad ahead of kicking off the World Cup qualifying campaign, which the JFF expects to sail through. The US, crowned Nations League champions last weekend following a 2-0 win over Canada, have a interim head coach in charge to play the Boyz at Chicago’s Soldier Field on June 24.
Managerless Mexico, who earlier this week axed manager Diego Cocca after just four months at the helm, head Group B with Haiti, Honduras and guest participants Qatar. Cocca’s exit will surely signal a warning that Hallgrimsson’s flawed reign cannot afford any slip ups at the Gold Cup.
