The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has disclosed that former Black Starlets coach Laryea Kingston behaved improperly while resigning from his position as head coach of the team.
Kingston announced his resignation to the media shortly after the team’s 2-1 loss to Burkina Faso at the ongoing WAFU B U-17 championship.
His decision came as a surprise to many, leading to questions about the reasons behind the resignation of the former Black Stars player.
In a statement released on Sunday, the GFA accused the 43-year-old of using foul language and engaging in other forms of misconduct.
