    This must be a merry go round. Isn't this where we started out when Boxhill took over?

          Brown's last hurrah...Coach says he'll retire from national duties in December<DIV class=KonaBody>


          file - Carl Brown



          By LeVaughn Flynn, Staff Reporter

          Newly named interim head coach of the national senior football team, Carl Brown, yesterday began his final spell in that position. Considered Jamaica's best local coach, Brown was appointed for a three-month period (until November 16) by the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF).

          This is Brown's fifth appointment as head coach and he made it clear that this will be his final run.

          "I've spent 23 years as a national coach and 10 years as a national player between 1970 and 1980 and I believe the time has come for me to pay some attention to other things." said Brown at a press conference at the JFF's office yesterday.

          "This year will be the final year I will make myself available for international duties," he continued. "This is the fifth time I have been appointed national coach and I've never ever turned it down.

          "It' a situation where once you are asked you take it. I've never questioned myself about taking. It's a commitment I've made to national football and something I want to do and it's not difficult when asked to participate in the national programme."

          Brown's previous stints were between 1983-86, 1990-93, 1994-99 and 2001-04. JFF President Crenston Boxhill said he was glad to have Brown back.



          willingness



          "The JFF welcomes Carl back into the national programme and really appreciates his well-known love for football and his willingness to make his contribution whenever it is requested." Boxhill stated.

          Brown admitted that his appointment has resulted in changes to his life.

          "I've had to be breaking some commitments I've made to other things in particular with Boys' Town." he said.



          reluctant



          "Boys' Town right now is up and running and the youngsters are back out. We are participating in youth football for the first time in seven years and if there's a difficulty to move away from anything for the national programme - is having to move away from what exists now at Boys' Town," said Brown who serves as the chief executive officer of the vocational institution.

          "The good thing is that the supporters, although reluctant, understand that once the national duties come around I usually go."

          Brown also said he has spoken with outgoing Technical Director Wendell Downswell since his resignation and that he sympathises with him.

          "I told him recently I don't think he has anybody in a position to understand him better than I do and I'm really in deep sympathy with him with what happened over the last couple of games." Brown said in reference to the heavy losses to <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Australia</SPAN>, Ghana and England.

          Brown said his first objective is to start winning games as he has three upcoming friendlies - Canada on September 4 and October 8 and Peru on November 15 - as well as the start of Digicel Caribbean Cup on September 27, of which Jamaica are reigning champions

          "What the public is asking for right now is to start to win some games. We have to get a good result against Canada and Peru and reach th
