In 2003 he led the Canadian team to fourth place in the 2003 Women's World Cup.[4] He led the Canadian team to the 2008 Summer Olympics, where they finished in an impressive 5th place. He announced his retirement at the end of his contract with Canada in December 2008.[5][6] He has subsequently come out of retirement and on 16 January 2009 it was announced that he was hired to be the coach of the Trinidad and Tobago women's national football team as well as the country's women's under-20 and girls' under-17 teams.[7]
