Paul ‘Tegat’ Davis named new Montego Bay United coach
ST JAMES, Jamaica — Paul ‘Tegat’ Davis is to take over as head coach of Jamaica Premier League club Montego Bay United (MBU), the club said in a release Monday night.
After declining to confirm rumours that swirled at Monday’s game where MBU beat Tivoli Gardens 3-1 in their second-round JPL game, the club made the announcement on their social media platform later in the night.
In addition to Davis, Andrew Peart, the coach of Glenmuir High was also named as technical director.
Davis, who last coached at the Premier League level with Arnett Gardens in 2023, is to replace Argentine Rodolfo Zapata, who left the Montego Bay-based club “by mutual decision”, it was heard last week, and could make his debut on Thursday at home against Racing United.
Davis represented Seba United in his playing days and led them as a coach back to the Premier League in the 2009-10 season before the name change to Montego Bay United by then owner Orville Powell.
He will inherit a team, sitting third in the Premier League on 48 points and appears well set to qualify for the play-offs.
