GFA accept Laryea Kingston’s resignation; makes allegations against him

Ghana Football Association(GFA) has accepted Laryea Kingston’s resignation as head coach of the Black Starlets, though it has shed light on some allegations that reveal the nature of his relationship with the Football Association.

In a recently revised press release, the Ghana Football Association stated that Laryea Kingston informed the Black Starlets of his resignation “using inappropriate language.”

The Ghana Football Association also claimed that “Coach Kingston got off the team bus while the team was on its way to the team hotel.

“He failed to attend the team’s evening meeting with the Management Committee and has since not reported to the team hotel. The GFA duly accepts Laryea’s resignation,” reads part of the statement issued on Sunday, May 26, 2024.

Laryea Kingston announced his resignation from the Black Starlets following their 2-1 defeat to Burkina Faso in the WAFU Zone B Under-17 championship.

The Starlets, who coasted through their first two matches in the competition, fell to the Burkinabes in the game played at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Saturday, May 25, 2024.

“I know Ghanaians know me as a player and are familiar with the sacrifices I made for the country during my playing days. I gave my all as a player, but in the end, I wasn’t happy.

I put more focus on my coaching career and educated myself to make sure I came back to change the narrative around Ghanaian Football.

“Within these past seven months as Head Coach, I’ve given my all. I decided when we came back from Russia that I would resign after the WAFU competition. The explanation will come later,” he said.

Under Laryea Kingston, the Black Starlets scored 54 times and conceded 15 goals.
