HTX Soccer is pleased to announce that Coach Miguel Becerra ('06 / '10 ECNL Boys/Academy GK Director) was selected once again to be the Goalkeeper/Assistant Coach for the St. Kitts-Nevis Senior Men's National Team. Coach Becerra traveled the last two months to the following venues gaining some excellent results on the international stage within the Concacaf Nations League.
September:
St. Kitts-Nevis vs Cayman Islands (Won 4-1) @ Cayman Islands.
St. Kitts-Nevis vs. British Virgin Islands (Won 1-0) @ St. Kitts-Nevis.
October:
St. Kitts-Nevis vs Cayman Islands (Tied 1-1) @ St. Kitts-Nevis.
St. Kitts vs. British Virgin Islands (Won 3-1) @ British Virgin Islands.
Due to the outstanding results, the team has advanced in first place to group B. They will continue with their playing schedule on November 15 vs. Cuba in St. Kitts-Nevis (home) and Nov 28 vs. Cuba (away). The winner of those games will qualify to play in the Gold Cup 2025 in the USA.
"I am honored to have been selected as part of the coaching staff for the St. Kitts-Nevis Men's National Team throughout the last couple of months," said Miguel Becerra. "It has been very exciting to travel to the Virgin and Cayman Islands and help the team advance. It's a great challenge and I look forward to helping the team progress with positive results in the month of November."
Coach Becerra, who's playing career in Liga MX included stops with Chivas de Guadalajara and Santos Laguna, is part of HTX Soccer’s fully professional coaching staff of over 170 U.S. Soccer and UEFA licensed coaches. The experience of coaching at the senior international level will no doubt bring a unique perspective to all the goalkeepers in the Boys Academy program.
"We are very proud that Coach Miguel was selected to be part of this next set of games. He continues to bring a great deal of coaching experience to the Boys Academy,” said Boys Academy Director Alex Cardenas. "He's an integral part of the coaching staff within the club and we're fortunate to have him working with our players on a daily basis."
