Gayle takes over at Arnett as JPL coaching shuffle continues
Veteran coach Marcel Gayle will be the new head coach of Arnett Gardens following last week’s sudden resignation of Phillip Williams.
The appointment of Gayle, who was sacked by Waterhouse FC in December after seven years at the Drewsland club, is the latest coaching shuffle in the Jamaica Premier League this off season.
Gayle takes over from Williams, who spent only a year at Arnett Gardens after replacing Xavier Gilbert who had departed to Montego Bay United. Gayle’s replacement at Waterhouse, Javier Ainstein, is also now at Montego Bay as head coach while Gilbert has been upgraded to technical director.
Meanwhile, Donovan Duckie left Chapelton Maroons and is now at the helm of Waterhouse while Joey Jap Tjong has taken over from Duckie at Chapelton as head coach with former Arnett Gardens player and assistant coach Dicoy Williams his assistant.
What’s more, Alex Thomas, the assistant coach at Waterhouse last season, is now the head coach of Dunbeholden FC; veteran coach Andrew Price has taken over at Tivoli Gardens, replacing Jerome Waite; and Anthony Patrick has left Racing United and is now at Spanish Town Police FC.
