In 2019, Shabazz received a two-year appointment to the IFAB Football Advisory Panel. In May it was reported that he had signed a 2-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 November 19, 2019 St. Lucia lost 1-0 at home to Montserrat and were relegated to League C.
