Karl Roberts rules out permanent Bermuda job despite praising ‘coachable’ squad

Bermuda Senior Women’s National Team interim head coach Karl Roberts has firmly ruled himself out of the running for the permanent position, insisting his sole focus remains assisting the team through its current transition.

Roberts, who took temporary charge alongside Calvin Dill for the recent international friendlies against Belize following Naquita Robinson’s departure, made it clear he has no desire to assume the role full-time.

“In reference to me taking on the senior role—no, I have no intentions of replacing Keta,” Roberts stated. “I have already talked to the BFA concerning it, and I have no interest in taking it on as a head coach.”

Despite ruling himself out of the top job, Roberts emphasized that his commitment to the local game remains unchanged, leaving the door open to assist the permanent successor.

On the pitch, the interim boss praised his players’ tactical progress and execution between their first and second outings, noting major improvements in possession and decision-making.

“Even though the scoreline doesn’t really reflect it, our play was better,” Roberts concluded. “Applause to the players. They are coachable, they want to do well, and it’s just a matter of nurturing and guiding them.”
