Shabazz was a press officer for
CONCACAF from 1997 to 1998. After time coaching in his native country, he served as the manager and technical director of Guyana from 2005 to 2008. He established the side as a regional power with a series of results including 11 consecutive wins in 2006 and they reached their highest
FIFA World Ranking of 86 in 2010. Shabazz led the Trinidad and Tobago women's football programme in 2010 before returning to take charge of Guyana in August 2011. He led the
Golden Jaguars to the third round of
qualification for the
2014 FIFA World Cup, marking the furthest the national team had advanced in its history. He was in charge during the 2012
CFU Club Championship victory and 2015 name change from Caledonia AIA. In 2012 Shabazz had a spell as co-coach of his country's
men's team with
Hudson Charles, Shabazz's third spell with the Guyanese national team was announced at a press conference on 12 January 2015 and he signed a two-year deal with the Guyanese football association in March. He left the team on the expiry of his contract at the end of 2016 and took up duties as head coordinator of the TTFA's technical programmes. He took over the women's national team after
Carolina Morace left in 2017 and resigned from the role on 8 August 2018. In 2019, Shabazz received a two-year appointment to the
IFAB Football Advisory Panel. In May it was reported that he had signed a two-year deal to become head coach of St. Lucia ahead of the
2019-20 CONCACAF Nations League. With no immediate action scheduled for the team, who failed to qualify for the
2019 Gold Cup, Shabazz had been warming up with the country's elite women's programme. On 19 November 2019 St. Lucia lost 1–0 at home to
Montserrat and were relegated to
League C. ==Honours==
