Technical Director of Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz Rene Simoes was fired this morning.
He was dismissed following Jamaica’s 2-0 defeat to Honduras in a crucial Group ‘B’ CONCACAF Semi-Round Qualifying Series.
Simoes was reportedly fired around 1a.m. this morning in his hotel room in San Pedro Sula, by the President of The Jamaica Football Federation, Captain Horace Burrell.
Simoes, the man who led the Reggae Boyz to the 1998 World Cup In France was having his second stint as technical director.

Better say what you want now because we aint going nowhere boss man..Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

Rene Simoes fired!
September 11, 2008Football - News
President of the Jamaica Football Federation, Captain Horace Burrell has fired Technical Director Rene Simoes after Jamaica’s poor showing in the current World Cup campaign.
Speaking quietly from the aircraft in San Pedro Sula, Burrell confirmed Simoes’s dismissal to JamaicaWin.com. Only one question could be posed to the head of the Federation who was on the tarmac ready to leave for Miami. When asked to confirm the dismissal he whispered, “Yes”.
Jamaica drew with Canada 1-1 before losing to Mexico 0-3 and the lost 0-2 to Honduras last night.
Simoes guided Jamaica to the World Cup finals in France 1998. He returned to Jamaica in January to take up the post after Captain Burrell had dismissed Bora Mulatinovic who held the job for one year.
Simoes is the second Brazilian to be fired by Captain Burrell after losing to Honduras, as Clovis Oliviera was fired in 2001 after losing 0-1 to the same team, also in a World Cup qualifier.
A replacement will be named next week. Jamaica continue their quest for a place in the CONCACAF final group of six with three homes games. The first is against Mexico at the National Stadium on October 11.
