Laryea Kingston’s abrupt resignation is a calamity – Coach Opeele

Former Kumasi Asante Kotoko coach, Isaac Adade Opeele Boateng, has criticized Laryea Kingston’s resignation as the Black Starlets coach, calling it a feeble attempt to gain public sympathy.

In a social media post, Coach Opeele outlined his reasons for considering Laryea Kingston’s resignation a poor decision.

Opeele emphasized that a key quality of a competent coach is the ability to navigate behind-the-scenes politics, an area where he believes Kingston lacked proficiency.

Additionally, Opeele criticized the way Kingston communicated with his players, referencing the language used in some viral videos.

“Laryea, in a video, was seen shouting at two of his players for running slowly. He should understand that not all players respond well to being yelled at.

Yelling at players at that level can undermine confidence and have negative psychological effects.

Laryea achieved good results but chose to quit abruptly after a loss. The GFA alleges he left the team bus, abandoning the kids en route to the team hotel.

“No matter what he’s experiencing, Ghanaian coaches endure worse at the club level but they adapt. Many coaches haven’t even had the chance to lead a national team, yet Laryea got the opportunity and left the team.

“Such actions have consequences, and this particular one will likely have a detrimental effect on his future employment with club owners.

Seeking public sympathy in this manner will only result in future critics dubbing you as the ‘Coach Who Abandoned His Team’ after failing to qualify.

It’s a disaster that the next generation will use to criticize you. Laryea Kingston must reconsider!” he stated.

Laryea Kingston declared his resignation from the Black Starlets after the team’s defeat to Burkina Faso in the semi-final of the 2024 WAFU Zone B Championship.

The Black Starlets fell 2-1 to Burkina Faso in the match held at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Saturday, May 25, 2024.

“I know Ghanaians remember me as a player and the sacrifices I made for the country during my playing days. I gave my all as a player, but ultimately, I wasn’t satisfied.

I focused more on my coaching career and educated myself to ensure I could return and change the narrative around Ghanaian football.

“Over the past seven months as Head Coach, I’ve dedicated myself completely. I decided when we returned from Russia that I would resign after the WAFU competition. I will provide an explanation later,” he said.
