Playing career

Club

Kallon was born in Kenema, Sierra Leone. He played as a midfielder for Vanspor (1994–1995) in Turkey, Sportul Studențesc București (1995–1996) in Romania, and PSM Makassar, Persikota Tangerang and Persebaya Surabaya (1996–1999) in Indonesia. [2] [3]

International

Kallon was capped several times for Sierra Leone between 1990 and 1998, and scored two goals in a 5–1 win against Niger to help Sierra Leone qualify for the 1996 African Cup of Nations in South Africa.

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, Kallon also coached the Sierra Leone U-17 side in the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Finland after managing a second-place finish in the 2003 African U-17 Championship. [1]

In 2007 he coached Central Parade. [4]

Kallon coached Kallon F.C. to a runners up position in the 2004–05 League Championship. He fell out with his players, management and his younger brother, however, who later sacked him. In 2005, Kallon was banned for a year after forcefully stopping a league match between Kallon FC and Diamond Stars by letting his daughter sit down in the centre of the field, after the players refused to play under him. [5]

On 9 February 2016, Kallon was sacked by Old Edwardians. [1] [5]
