Uganda Cranes and Vipers SC attacker Allan Okello has opened up on why he left Algeria side AC Paradou. He revealed the reasons during an interview with SportsBoom.com
Okello joined Paradou in 2020 before returning to KCCA FC and later Vipers SC.
“From KCCA to Algeria (in 2020), it wasn’t that hard, as they (Paradou) had got interested when I played against them in the CAF Champions League, so they held discussions and the deal happened. At that point, all was moving to plan.”
“Then, I returned to Uganda at KCCA on loan from Algeria, and played for a season. I was meant to return to Algeria but then I had a knee injury and told Paradou that I needed to stay here for an extended period. At this point, we got issues, and that’s how we figured it all out to reach a termination.” Okello told SportsBoom.com
After the termination of his employment contract at AC Paradou, Okello joined six time Uganda Premier league champions Vipers SC at the start of the 2023/24 season on a three year deal.
This season, he has been one of the outstanding performers in the league scoring eight goals in 12 games and was instrumental for the Cranes during their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers.
