Former Iceland coach Heimir Hallgrímsson has been hired to coach Jamaica's men's national soccer team. He replaced Paul Hall, who quit in June after CONCACAF Nations League matches against Mexico and Suriname.

The former defender coached Qatar's Al-Arabi from 2018-21. Jamaica plays Argentina in an Sept. 27 exhibition at Harrison, New Jersey.
