Carlos Queiroz left his job as Ghana head coach on 1 October and the Ghana Football Association is searching for his successor. Yorke is among the names under consideration, along with Pape Thiaw, Aliou Cissé and Walid Regragui, the former Morocco head coach, according to Ghanaian media. He is tired of the shorthand way he is described during these high‑profile job hunts.
People focus on his playing accolades, including calling him the treble winner, a label he says belongs to one season in a run of three Premier League titles at Manchester United from 1999-2001. Over the past four years, Yorke has quietly built a coaching résumé far removed from Old Trafford. His first taste of management came in May 2022, taking charge of Australia’s A-League All Stars against Barcelona in front of more than 70,000 people in Sydney.
Macarthur, based in Sydney, followed that July. Macarthur sacked him in January 2023, with the club sixth, after a post-match address when he reportedly called the club a “pub team” run by “muppets”. A Fifa chamber found Macarthur had dismissed him without just cause.
The court of arbitration for sport upheld that in 2024 and ordered the club to pay AU$212,500 (£111,300 at current exchange rates). The job taught him communication and the importance of being transparent. It was resolved amicably and I’ve moved on.” Between Macarthur and his next role, he kept his hand in.
He worked as a pundit for beIN Sports and on the Saudi Pro League and travelled the world watching coaches at work. In November 2024, Trinidad and Tobago came calling. The Soca Warriors finished third in their World Cup qualifying group behind Curaçao and Jamaica, missing out on the finals tournament, and Yorke’s tenure ended soon after.
The Trinidad and Tobago Football Association said talks over revised terms had not produced an agreement and the contract was ended by mutual consent, announced in March. He does not accept that missing the World Cup defines his time in charge. He had been handed a brief: make people care about Trinidad and Tobago again, boost recruitment and qualify.
