MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA — Montego Bay United FC (“MBU”, “the Club”) today announced the promotion of Xavier Gilbert from Head Coach of the Senior Men’s Team to Technical Director of the Club, effective 1 July 2026, ahead of the 2026/27 football year. The appointment establishes a single, unified football leadership structure with clear ownership at every level of the Club.
As Technical Director, Gilbert will own the Club’s footballing strategy and assume oversight of all footballing activity: the Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s teams, the Youth Academy (U5–U18), recruitment across local, regional and international markets, and the Club’s representation at the Professional Football Jamaica Limited (PFJL) and with the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF).
