Dover to continue as Golden Jaguars interim Head Coach

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) on Saturday afternoon revealed that experienced campaigner Wayne Dover would continue to serve as interim Head Coach of the Senior Men’s National Football Team, the Golden Jaguars, for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifiers window in March, as the Golden Jaguars face Guatemala in a crucial home-and-away series to advance to the Gold Cup in June 2025.

According to the GFF, since announcing the vacancy for the Head Coach position in December, the Federation has received over 200 applications from candidates both regionally and internationally. Given the exceptional quality of applicants, the Federation is committed to a thorough selection process, and will finalize its decision by the end of March, with an official announcement to follow.
As the Golden Jaguars prepare for their Gold Cup qualification, the Federation remains focused on ensuring the best possible leadership for the national team, both in the immediate campaigns slated for 2025 and the long-term development of Guyana’s football.
In October of 2024, the GFF announced that it had parted ways with renowned Golden Jaguars Head Coach Jamaal Shabazz, who had been coming off of a less-than-stellar CONCACAF Nations League (CNL) League A debut with the national team.
Dover has since acted as interim Head Coach for a home-and-away series against Barbados, which punched Guyana’s ticket to the Gold Cup Qualifiers next month.
