Former Ghana international, Laryea Kingston, is being considered for the vacant coaching position at Hearts of Oak ahead of the upcoming football season.
The club is currently without a permanent head coach following the departure of Davis Ocloo, and the mutual agreement to part ways was confirmed by the club on Wednesday.
Reports suggest that Kingston, who serves as the assistant coach of the Ghana U-17 team, is engaged in discussions with Hearts of Oak to potentially assume the role of head coach for the 2023/24 season.
Kingston has previously had two spells as a player with the Accra-based club, first from 2001 to 2003 and then during the 2012/13 league season towards the end of his career.
Earlier this year, he was appointed as the assistant coach of the Black Starlets, taking over from the previous backroom staff led by Paa Kwesi Fabin.
He was in charge of the team during their participation at the 2023 UEFA four-nation tournament where they ended up as winners, winning all of their games.
David Ocloo who initially joined the side as an assistant coach was named the interim coach after Slavko Matic was forced to resign midway through the 2022/23 betPawa Ghana Premier League campaign.
Hearts of Oak finished 12th, only escaping relegation on the season’s final day.
The 2023/24 Ghana Premier League is expected to get underway in September.
Kingston was a member of Ghana’s Black Stars from 2002 to 2010. He has previously served as a youth team coach at the Right to Dream Academy.
