Lenny Taylor is a Jamaican football coach who is last known to have coached Pompano Beach Football Club in the United States.
Growing up poor in Kingston, Jamaica, Taylor had seven siblings and his father was a Christian carpenter.[3]
Resigned as head coach of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines after the 1996 Gold Cup which saw his team lose both their group stage clashes.[4]
Was disinterested in the idea of becoming the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines technical director again in 2016.[5]
The Saint Kitts and Nevis Football Association praised for choosing Taylor as their technical director in 2005,[6] he ran the entire football development program there, also aiding youth players in their careers.[7] However, by 2008, the Jamaican was discharged from his duties, inequitably according to some.[8]
