New claims circulating on social media have suggested possible reasons behind the dismissal of former Leone Stars Head Coach, Mohamed Kallon, by the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA).
In a widely shared post, an unidentified source alleged that Kallon’s removal was not linked to internal politics within the SLFA, but rather to his failure to comply with key professional responsibilities associated with his role.
According to the claims, one major concern was Kallon’s alleged refusal to attend mandatory pre-match and post-match press conferences since his appointment. These media engagements are standard requirements for head coaches, particularly in international competitions.
The situation reportedly escalated during the FIFA Series international friendly against Azerbaijan, where Kallon allegedly declined to appear for both pre-match and post-match press briefings, instead delegating the responsibility to his assistant. The post further claimed that FIFA representatives rejected this arrangement, insisting on the head coach’s presence.
Efforts were allegedly made by senior officials, including the Head of Delegation and SLFA Vice President II, as well as the Leone Stars team manager, to persuade Kallon to comply, but these attempts were unsuccessful. It was also claimed that his elder brother, Musa Kallon, intervened without success.
The source further suggested that the repeated incidents may have drawn concern from FIFA, with the possibility of disciplinary action against Sierra Leone.
However, these claims remain unverified, and the SLFA has not officially confirmed the reasons behind Kallon’s dismissal.
The development has sparked debate among football fans and stakeholders, with many calling for clarity from the football governing body regarding the circumstances surrounding the decision.
