Laryea Kingston has announced his resignation from his role as Head Coach of Ghana’s Under 17 national team, the Black Starlets.
Ghana missed out on a third successive U-17 AFCON competition after a 2-1 defeat to Burkina Faso in the semifinal of the WAFU Zone B Championship.
Kingston, who has been in charge of the team since October 2023, said he was always going to resign if he failed to qualify the team to the AFCON and simply followed 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.
Kingston was in charge of 17 matches as Black Starlets boss, winning 12, with 3 draws and 2 defeats.
The Black Starlets scored 54 times and conceded 15 goals during his time as Head Coach.
