John-Williams mum on TT women saga

Former national women’s captain Maylee Attin-Johnson and Kennya Cordner were both suspended from the team over the weekend, after having differences with coach and director of TT women’s football Carolina Morace.

According to a story on the local football website wired868.

com, “a TT FA source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, claimed that Morace accused the pair (Cordner and Attin-Johnson) of disrespecting her. Both players deny disrespecting the coach.

Attin-Johnson and Cordner follow winger Ahkeela Mollon out of the team, after the former Europe-based attacker quit weeks ago.” The story noted that the trio seem to be at odds with Morace’s style of management.

Concerning the issue involving Attin-Johnson and Cordner, John-Williams said, “I cannot comment on the matter at this time. The director of football has made a decision and I have to investigate the matter.” Morace, who is Italian, was hired in December by the TT FA.

Attempts to contact team manager Jinelle James and Attin-Johnson proved futile, while Mollon chose not to comment.

TT will be without the trio for two friendly matches against Venezuela, at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, on Sunday and next Wednesday.
