After their poor performance in the last Gold Cup and their early elimination from the CONCACAF Nations League, the National Selection needs renewal. While waiting for the official choice of a new coach. Big changes are brewing within the grenadiers; with a view to starting the qualifiers for the Football World Cup (2026) in good conditions.

Under cover of anonymity, our online agency Sport Passion Info (SPI) interviewed someone close to the national selection board. Indeed, renewal is expected within the national selection.

After the departure of Gabriel Calderon Pellegrino, Juan José Serrizuela is the coach expected to replace him. He is of Argentinian nationality. To avoid making the same mistakes with Jean-Jacques Pierre and Calderon. The Haitian Football Federation (FHF) wants to analyze the situation carefully to choose well.

_In the meantime, should we continue with the same unambitious players? Or those lacking talent or playing time in their respective clubs?_

Our source told us that there should be new faces within the said selection. The new coach should part ways with some supposedly key and important former players for the two-tones. Establish discipline within the group as well. Avoid subsequently adhering to the whims of the members of the Standardization Committee or the FHF. On the contrary, the federation should provide the means to search for new gems.

The new leader should impose himself on his foes and mix the old ones left with the new prodigies. Allow others to continue to emerge (such as Jayro Jean, Carl Fred Sainté and Danley Jean-Jacques).

A coach free in his decisions also controlling the locker room. His experience, hard work and character would be the basis for the success of this new chapter.

Furthermore, Haiti is in group C accompanied by Aruba, Curaçao, Saint Lucia and Barbados; with a view to launching its quest for the qualifying ticket for the next World Cup in North America (2026). Note that Canada, the United States and Mexico are already automatically qualified and the five (5) other places will compete and this will begin in June of this year. Haiti has already been notified of the new format allowing it to access its second participation in the World Cup in this category.
