Morocco Coach Halilhodzic Blacklists Defender Dirar After Missed National Team Call-Up
The international and right-back of the Atlas Lions, Nabil Dirar, is now on the list of "undesirable" players of the coach Vahid Halilhodzic who did not appreciate that the player was absent from the last gathering of the national team.
Coach Vahid Halilhodzic is angry because Nabil Dimar, right-back of the Belgian club FC Bruges, did not travel to Morocco during the last gathering of the Atlas Lions, citing his club’s refusal to release him due to the coronavirus.
Addressing the issue during a press conference held Thursday at the Maâmora complex, the Franco-Bosnian coach rejects the excuse given at the last minute by the player for his absence from the meeting for which he had been called up.
