Joss Moudoumbou Didiba (born 7 November 1997) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays for FC Zlín.[1]

Club career

Italian tenure

Didiba made his debut on 8 December 2015 against Novara in Serie B.[2] He joined Juventus on loan in January 2016.[3]

FK Senica

Didiba joined Senica in the summer of 2019.[4] From early on, he became a starting line-up regular.

Didiba made his Fortuna Liga debut in the premier round of the season, on 20 July 2019, in a home fixture against AS Trenčín. Didiba came on as a late second-half replacement for Lovro Cvek, as Senica was in a 2:1 lead. While Trenčín had taken the lead through former Slovak international David Depetris, Senica came back by two goals from Eneji Moses. While Didiba was on the pitch, during stoppage time, Frank Castañeda had managed to convert a penalty to finalise the score at 3:1.[5]

On 23 August 2019, during a home fixture against ViOn Zlaté Moravce, Didiba had scored his first goal for Senica. From the 17th minute, Senica had trailed after a goal by Tomáš Ďubek, but Didiba had equaled the score some 10 minutes later. Ďubek had scored again in the second half and was soon followed by Senad Jarović, bringing the match total to 1:3.[6] Didiba had scored once more in October, during a 1:4 victory over Nitra at pod Zoborom.[7]

During early spring part of the 2019–20 season, Didiba enjoyed a brief spell as a captain of Senica, following a mass exodus of foreign first-team players, due to financial troubles of the club.[8]
