He was re-elected to the position for fifth time in January 2016.[2]

In the wake of the suspension of Jack Warner and Lisle Austin in 2011, he became the acting president of the Caribbean Football Union.

On 30 April 2020, he was accused of sexually abusing young female footballers, including one who was forced to have an abortion.[3]
