FORMER FC Platinum forward Donald Ngoma says he left Tanzanian club Azam FC because he felt disrespected after the club asked him to go through a trial period by playing in friendly matches before they could extend his contract.
“While in Zimbabwe, I received a phone call from Azam chief executive officer Abdulkarim Amin, who requested me to come and play in friendly matches so they could assess me and possibly extend my contract, but I turned down the offer.
The CEO insisted it could have been better if I was in Tanzania so I could play friendly matches prior to the resumption of the league and hence, they could decide to extend my contract,” the 31-year-old told Goal.
If you are a foreign player, you need to show your abilities to deserve what the club gives you but for my side, my level dropped and I was far away to catch up with my teammates [sic],” Ngoma added.
However, they were not fit enough to participate in the club’s first match at the weekend as the league resumed after the coronavirus inflicted break prohibition.
