Laryea Kingston resigns as Black Starlets head coach

Laryea Kingston has announced his resignation from his position as Head Coach of Ghana’s Under-17 national team, the Black Starlets.

The decision comes after Ghana failed to qualify for a third successive U-17 AFCON competition, following a 2-1 defeat to Burkina Faso in the semifinals of the WAFU Zone B Championship.

Kingston, who took charge of the team in October 2023, stated that he had always planned to resign if he could not qualify the team for the AFCON, and he is now following through with that vow.

”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 changed the narrative around Ghana 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.

During his tenure as Head Coach of the Black Starlets, Laryea Kingston oversaw 17 matches, winning 12, with 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Under his leadership, the Black Starlets scored 54 goals and conceded 15 times.
