Former Chinese national team manager Bora Mulitinovic confirmed Tuesday that he agreed to coach Jamaica who is hoping to qualify for the 2010 World Cup finals.

Milutinovic, who resigned after the 2002 World Cup, told Xinhua that he has reached agreement with the Jamaican soccer association as he was given a contract with no expiration date.

His major goal, Milutinovic said, would be a berth in next World Cup, the world soccer gala to be held in SouthAfrica.

Milutinovic, nicknamed Milu by millions of Chinese fans, led China to their only World Cup finals in 2002 tournament, co-hosted by Japan and South Korea.

After resignation in the same year, he had a stint with Honduras in 2004.

RE: Update: Bora's contract with JFF has no expiration date

This might be betterfor Jamaica and the JFF0, if there are no other severance clauses in his contract. Past contracts have had a fixed term, which often meant that TDs (other than Jamaican TDs like Carl Brown and Boysie Downswell) were paid for the full term of their contract even if they were fired before the contract ends.

But there are two sides to this. If Bora's contract has no end date he can also walk out with no obligations. This may indicate his level of commitment to the national team. I hardly think a man of his experience would take a contract with no end date and not have some other protections in it.

Hmmmm....
