TRINIDAD & TOBAGO COACH:
Leo Beenhakker

Dutchman Leo Beenhakker has been around the international soccer block and then some at the club and national team level. He has coached a number of top-flight clubs during his 33-year career. The breakdown: six clubs in the Netherlands -- Ajax, Feyenoord, Go Ahead Eagles, S.C. Cambuur, F.C. Volendam, Vitesse; Spain (2)-- Real Madrid and Real Zaragoza; Mexico (2) -- Chivas de Guadalajara, Club America; Switzerland (1) -- Grasshoppers; Turkey (1) -- Istanbulspor A.S. He also directed the Dutch and Saudi Arabian National Teams, at the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, respectively. While guiding Real Madrid to three titles in the late eighties, Beenhakker earned the nickname "Don Leo." Born on August 2, 1942, Beenhakker was named Trinidad & Tobago coach on April 1, 2005, replacing Bertille St. Clair. "Leo Beenhakker came and what he did was make us actually believe that we can do it and that none of the other sides are any better," defender Dennis Lawrence told FIFAWorldCup.com. "Obviously he has got so much experience and I have realized there are a lot of things I can learn from him. He gives us the freedom to express ourselves on the pitch. He is a confident manager and his confidence rubs off on the players." Beenhakker has become famous for the line: "I'm getting so tired of this . . . "
