Anthony Patrick tasked to elevate Spanish Town Police FC

KINGSTON, Jamaica—The revolving door for local football coaches continues as veteran Anthony Patrick was appointed head coach of Spanish Town Police FC just days after being sacked by Racing United.

Patrick had been at the helm of Racing United since 2017 and guided them from the St Catherine Division Two to the highest league in the country – the Jamaica Premier League.

After just two years in top-flight football, Patrick had led Racing United to a top-six spot and into the playoffs, where they were eliminated by eventual champion Portmore United.

Despite his relative success, Patrick and the new owners never saw eye to eye, and he was sacked.

However, Patrick, who was courted by Spanish Town Police for the last few years, finally said yes and is now tasked with returning them to the Jamaica Premier League after they were relegated in their first season of top-flight football.

Meanwhile, the same management team that sacked Patrick from Racing did likewise at St Catherine High School, a team he won two Walker Cup titles and reached the Manning Cup final in 2024.
