Levi Garcia Hopes Dwight Yorke’s Appointment as Head Coach Will Boost National Football Team’s Performance
As one of Trinidad & Tobago’s senior players, Levi Garcia believes that Dwight Yorke’s presence as head coach of the national football team will significantly impact its performance.
Garcia’s Perspective on Yorke’s Appointment
The 27-year-old Garcia scored eight goals in 42 appearances for the Soca Warriors and currently plays for the Greek Super League club AEK Athens, where he scored five goals and provided two assists in 13 matches of the 2024/2025 season. Yorke, a former national player, was appointed head coach in November 2024 and has been mandated by Trinidad and Tobago Football Association (TTFA) president Kieron Edwards to lead the team to the 2026 World Cup.
Garcia’s Expectations from Yorke’s Leadership
During an interview on I95.5 FM on Saturday, Garcia said he did not believe people fully understood the effect Yorke’s hiring would have on the team. "I’ve had a chat with Dwight earlier on when he was appointed as the head coach, and I think people underestimate how big Dwight is and the influence that he will bring to the team and surrounding the team," Garcia said. "I’m excited to work with him, and I hope that he can get the best out of the team."
Garcia’s Personal Ambitions and Fears
Garcia, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career, said he was energized to represent his country and working extremely hard to improve his fitness. He maintained that once he remained fit, he would be a force to be reckoned with on the pitch. "I’m just working on staying healthy as long as possible so that when I’m with the national team, I’m giving 120 percent, doing what I know best, and giving them what I can," Garcia said.
Conclusion
As Trinidad and Tobago gears up for the 2026 World Cup, the appointment of Dwight Yorke as head coach has raised expectations. With players like Levi Garcia, who are committed to their fitness and performance, the team is poised to make a strong showing in the tournament.
