<p>The Jamaican Football Federation confirmed that they have appointed 63-year-old McClaren as their new manager on Wednesday. The English coach replaces Heimir Hallgrimsson at the helm, who left the job after the Reggae Boyz's disappointing group stage exit from Copa America 2024.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Please help us welcome the New Coach of the Jamaica Senior Men’s National Team Mr. Stephen McClaren 🇯🇲 <a href="https://t.co/UoOeeGWXVw">pic.twitter.com/UoOeeGWXVw</a></p>— Official J.F.F (@jff_football) <a href="https://twitter.com/jff_football/status/1818738478282395684?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 31, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It was earlier reported that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/why-steve-mcclaren-hasnt-travelled-us-man-utd-pre-season-tour/blt9f6c76d97b61a11c#csb59bf37af33782d4" target="_blank">McClaren did not travel with Erik ten Hag and the Red Devils squad</a> to the United States for their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-pre-season-2024-tour-fixtures-results-tickets-watch/blt40910657efdd28df" target="_blank">pre-season tour</a> as he was not fit to make the journey because he recently underwent surgery on his foot.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Since the addition of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ruud-van-nistelrooy-back-man-utd-coaching-staff-erik-ten-hag/bltcd7aa84fb54c3caf" target="_blank">Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rene Hake</a> to the Dutch manager's coaching staff, the Englishman's role was altered from assistant manager to senior first-team coach.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The former England boss' first assignment in charge of Jamaica will be during the September international break as the Caribbean nation take on Cuba and Honduras in back-to-back CONCACAF Nations League clashes.</p>
