WAFU B: Laryea Kingston’s assistants to take over – GFA

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has responded to the decision of the Head Coach of the National U17 Team, the Black Starlets, Laryea Kingston, to leave the team.

According to the GFA in a statement, this follows his behaviour after the WAFU ZONE B U17 qualifier Semifinal match against Burkina Faso on May 25, 2024.

Laryea Kingston’s decision has been supported by his subsequent actions.

The statement added that coach Kingston announced to the players and the coaching staff that he has resigned whilst using inappropriate language.

They added that he subsequently said same in his post-match Press Conference.

“Coach Kingston also got off the Team Bus whilst 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 at the Team Hotel,” the FA noted.

The statement concluded by adding that “For the 3rd place play off match between Ghana and Nigeria scheduled for Tuesday , 28th May, 2024 , the current Assistant Coaches will take charge with support and from the Technical Director of the GFA.”
