Renson Haynes (born October 12, 1978) is a Vincentian former football manager and former footballer who is last known to have managed the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national football team.

Haynes is a native of Calliaqua, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and started playing football while enrolled at the Calliaqua Anglican School, before playing for the St. Vincent Grammar School and St. Vincent Community College, helping them win two consecutive Inter-Secondary School Football Championships, and was named 1998 Sportsman of the Year.^[1]

Haynes attended and played for Central Connecticut State University in the United States through a sports scholarship.^[2]

Haynes was regarded as a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines prospect.^[3]

Haynes played for the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, including during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.^[4] On June 13, 2004, he scored his first national team goal during a 2–2 tie against Nicaragua.^[5] In total, he made eighteen appearances and scored eleven goals for the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national football team.^{[citation needed]}

Haynes could operate as a striker or winger and was known for his versatility.^[3]

In 2021, Haynes was appointed manager of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national football team to replace Rohan Thomas Jr, who resigned on February 8, 2021.^[6] His first task was to prepare for the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, when the team would play against Curaçao and the British Virgin Islands.^[7]

However, many of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national team players were not satisfied with his performance as manager, and accused him of over-interference.^[8] After failing to reach the next round of the World Cup qualifiers, his task was to improve the team's performance for the Gold Cup Preliminary round against Haiti.^[9]
