DFA appoints Kelvin Francois as Youth Development Officer

Francois takes up a new role at the DFA

A former Vice President of the Dominica Football Association (DFA) has taken up employment with the local football association.

Kelvin Francois has been appointed Youth Development Officer (YDO) taking over from Joffre Faustin who resigned from his post earlier this year due to “personal reasons.”

Francois is no stranger in the football arena having managed the Itassi Football Team and has also completed several courses organized by the association in collaboration with FIFA, CONCACAF and the Dominica Olympic Committee (DOC), which covered coaching and administrative aspects of the game.

He is also a former manager of the National Men Team and has coached and managed several teams in the northeast of the island.

DFA PRO Gerald George said that given his vast experience and knowledge of the game Francois is “well equipped for the post.”

    Skerrit using his boys to plant his VielleCase friends in all key positions in Dominica, whether it’s in the police department, fire department, labor department, agriculture, cricket, football and many more. They are all there to defend Skerrit

      Shut your mouth and go and find who ever it is to give you position… he got this job through his love for football and the children… maybe if you find something constructive to do with your time you would not be here commenting negatively.

      I see Vieile Case people always getting a beating because they are ambitious. The rest of the island should follow in the foot steps of Vieille Case people. One thing I must say they always make the news for positive things. Kelvin congratulations on your new post give it your best.
