Hundreds of Chipolopolo fans have expressed their anger and frustration after Football Association of Zambia, FAZ President Andrew Kamanga unveiled former Zambia captain Moses ‘Big Mo’ Sichone as the assistant Technical Director at Football House on Thursday.
Many fans are questioning Sichone’s loyalty especially that he snubbed national team call ups at the height of his career.
“This is the the person who thought he will never need Zambia when he went to German. Let German give him a job.When we needed him he refused. Ba Andrew Kamanga, ,better you even help Elijah Litana get a Job not Moses,” Patrick Kasonde posted on social media.
There was even a suggestion from another fan that Sichone should get a job from one of his former club in Germany
“From the comments above it clear everyone still remembers he refused to play for us and am sure ponga hasn’t forgotten too so why reward him with a job let him get one from the club he saved with so much commitment that he refused to play for chipolopolo,” Ian Fuliwa wrote.
Alongside Stopilla Sunzu, the late Harison Chongo, Elijah Tana and Litana, ‘Big Mo’ is considered as one of Zambia’s finest centre back in the last 2 decades and not all his lost as he still support.
“This is the problem we have us Zambian we good at condemnation is ever on our lips, when Renard came we called him names till he won us the cup Moses, told us the reasons he stopped playing for Zambia, today you have forgotten.get facts before you cast a stone,” Eric Lyumbika wrote.
Below are some of the reactions from the fans….
