Michael Johnson: Former Derby defender relishing new Guyana role

Guyana's sporting heritage is not extensive.

Cricketing greats Clive Lloyd, Carl Hooper and Shivnarine Chanderpaul were born there. Boxer Michael Anthony is its single Olympic medallist, and the bronze from the Moscow Games in 1980 was aided considerably by a political boycott that meant there was no participation from the United States.

In football, there has been no appearance at the Concacaf Gold Cup, let alone the World Cup.

Guyana's current Fifa ranking of 182 puts them between Cuba and Bhutan and two places ahead of Malta, who have not won a competitive game since 2013.

Nevertheless, former Notts County, Birmingham and Derby defender Michael Johnson is not daunted by the challenge he has taken on as the national side's new head coach.

good article highlighting some of the difficulties he will face over the coming season. Hope DCFC do features on him over the season because it sounds like a really difficult challenge he's undertaking.
