• 52-year-old was captain of Soca Warriors at 2006 World Cup
• Yorke was sacked from only other manager role in Australia

Dwight Yorke has been named head coach of Trinidad and Tobago, aiming to lead the home islands back to the World Cup.

The appointment comes after Yorke was controversially sacked from his only other coaching job in Australia with Macarthur, which he led to the national cup title in 2022 before leaving last year. Yorke later won a settlement case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport against the club over the dismissal.
