'UPDF FC coach Kisala did not forgive me for missing penalty' - Okot

The defender is a free agent and is now in the market for a new club

Defender Fred Okot believes he was released by Ugandan Premier League (UPL) side UPDF FC for missing a penalty against Kyetume FC in a match his former side eventually lost by a solitary goal.

The player was let go from the promoted side alongside goalkeeper Tony Kyamera, winger Juma Ssebaduka and defenders Najib Gwaidu Tusaba, and Ronnie Kisekka. The defender says he asked for forgiveness for missing the penalty but the coach, Kefa Kisala, did not grant him one.

"The reason I was released was because of missing a spot-kick in the 90th minute," Okot said as quoted by Sports Nation.
