We have heard the statement of the Acting Head Coach of Taifa Stars Hemedi Morocco saying that defender Dickson Job has no place in his team because he is not the type of defenders he needs due to his height
Morocco spoke about this after various football stakeholders questioned the reason for leaving Job in the Stars squad despite the defender being at his best level
His statement is the reason for Job not being included and not allegations of misconduct as some analysts spread in the media
Morocco's statement is surprising because Job has been part of the Stars team since 2015. Job has been trained by coaches with a bigger profile than Morocco but they never made a statement like his.
In the Yanga club, Job is a regular in the first team, he has played big and competitive matches, the height problem was never seen
The coach is like a parent, coming out in public and saying that I don't want a certain player in my team because he is short, it is not polite and it is wrong for a player who has served the national team since he was a child
Morocco's statement gives us an image of the kind of stigma that Job has probably encountered in the Stars squad and you will understand why he was not ready to play the role that was planned by the coach during Afcon 2023
As citizens, we know that Job is a top class defender and he was never accused of misconduct since he joined Yanga
